Deflected from our own Recollection
by Jim BenzA decibel which was never sounded
apart from something and not only
sounded but wrung proddingly
was not heard. The event
of its unnoticed creation
was post-existing, very much
like the unexpected
crash of its unremarkable
making--a word never formed
nor something on which
thoughts linger. Unexperienced
and unrecollectable, the moment
is unperturbed, indefinable.
"But the water surface ripples,
the whole light changes" 08/14/2010 Author's Note: as usual, just trying [unsuccessfully] to get some poetry going ...

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 08/14/10 at 07:17 PM I think about where sounds go when they are released to the air; more lately, for some reason. This makes me think of potential, ideas bouncing around inside, words never said that might have changed something dramatically, or not. Thanks for this. |
| Posted by Paul Lastovica on 08/14/10 at 08:40 PM so much goes unnoticed the whole world over - but still each thing ripples outward, maybe reaching a destination, maybe coming up short. It's important to take note when one comes upon such a moment in time and place. An acorn falls and is not heard; same as that proverbial tree. *sigh* the mind wanders =) |
