nightingale birdsong caressing 
the soft fluttering

The shell cracks 
the impenetrable opens 

The conduit 
responds 

the lighter being 
rises

in the blood 
walking a strange ocean

sound 
waves 

magnetised,

like music hums

Solfeggio
a new vibration

that which was...

What is a thought?
What is not?
Not making a confession
Not impressed by expression
Expression that hides
Expression that guides
Guides my poetic heart
Guides my collective art
