Waves & Particles
If I could come to you uncut.
If I could speak to you
in our first language
the language of light
With all its teeming
prisms, motes,
sines and cosines
But I would probably
Have to be dead again
to speak with
the mouth of a star.
At least you would
Catch what we have been
Trying to get at all along.
