Bach’s birthday today. Born in 1685, the same year as Vivaldi, a universe of music was born. A tribute~

from Days of Mercury

a dreamt image sees something pulsing
some arteria
lustily formed
a mirror atom
busted through
so cells probe their own
questions carve
black holes only
answerable to infinited universes
craves momentum
inside the illusion
of stillness

I didn’t see Bach
as a musical garden
as my mind wants
to flourish
in that cathartic field
but my soul at rest
forever and ever and ever revealed.
