[OSList] Poetry on the oslist

[paul levy]

Opening Space

In this place there are only tones.
No bodily function yet movement
>From thought that flexes
Non-existent muscles.


There are no nouns, only verb
Upon verb, Like fields and valleys,
The language spoken by
The dead, who have cast off all nouns
Is a landscape uttered here.


There are harmonics and rising pitch
That discords as pain, and accords
As love.


In this place there is only tone.
There is communion in notes with a
Melody of Meaning and it is possible
To touch another with the intention
Of a healing song.


Into this place, I unfold my wings of sound-borne light.
