tear drops from a golden sardine

a mouth unspeaks then
untells what it has unspoken
and the silence
between that and this
is jazz
a ear unhears
hands unclap
lips unkiss
blankets and flags unfold
dream's calligraphy illuminates
a sun explodes
civilizations vanish
old men are born
and children die
while old ladies
waltz invisibly on
and on balconies that never were
until
in a primordial moment
the proverbial atom splits
chaos dies
a single word
echoing through
infinity's golden mellifluence

BE.
