leaves
& grass
should compost
two years later
I still have
a heap of twigs
leaves
& grass

it’s probably yours
the nothing
found today
on my hike
thank you
between
the leaves
the spaces
so
open

you break
and I break
and in the breaking
a writhing, grisly
foul mess—
and what are
these petals
I see
?

Beside the fire
a man begins
a rhythmic
drone
and another
man is roused
to song
and another
and another
+
I can’t say
where it comes from
the urge in me
to sing
along
but
soon
I too
become
night
music—
not a
woman
+
but the shape
of song
that belongs
more to all
than any
one can
make
like how
seven sisters
constellate
*these 84s, 84-character poems, are part of a new series on synergy, the sixth power of the universe as outlined by Brian Swimme. It refers to a synergistic relationship that gives birth to causal factors in the universe that would not otherwise exist. It shows the ontological power of relationship.
