“Frequency” 

we are separated

by a thin membrane

frequency

existing to be lit
the fuses touching
reaching delicately 

that which we do 
and do not see,

answers embedded

Born to end Philistine pillage, 
and fill sad, anxious hearts with mirth.

strange little creatures
of large stature visiting,
just like
I am, 
visiting,
