REVOLUTION: SIRONEfinish the set
last notes hollow the chorophonic wood
sweat sweetened ebony inside
the space that leaving makes
between the bass line breathes
where Sacred lives
strings speak in tongues
wash the sun starved world
a thrilling dark tone touch
ancient echoes at the intersection
of acoustic atoms
a veined clinched eye
watching us return
turning salt to sustenance
read the Writings of the Messenger of Joy
that cause the youngest trees to bend
into the earths cyclic score
in ten finger time talking
with vocal cords of eardrum essence
the never rupted revolution
sheds winters weight
extended solo a single word
for death and life
Ijeoma C. Thomas
