listening

vladimir sofronitsky
pulls scriabin sonatas from
a loving, living machine
butterfly in cathedral
mystical wedding
spirit, with
organic, legendarily
fierce temerity.
let the goslings
of spring blush
with adolescent
sincerity yet again
this year again, deepening
the return journey.

black hole v listening

the silent
black hole
period of
epilogue at
the end of
the largest
stars.

that, into which
nothing returns.
an abyss that has
ceased communicating
with the universe
except through
what disappears
at its edge.

this silence is
the opposite of
listening. it lacks
the active ingredient
of being-with, of
anticipation, of
asking in return.
