Exponential form

Colour; gold or silver or invisible white, I guess the truth is the colour was not seen.


But for arguments sake, and by the way there is no one here with which to argue, so there we have it, the colour was invisible bright white.


The weight was between weightlessness and an immoveable load, the burden though was fleet of foot and moving, moving to all parts of the physical being, seen through some ‘in body’ out of body experience.


So to give some basis for further thought, if that’s ok, we’ll give it the weight of the pulsating sheep’s heart, pulsating in free gravitational space.


Mass, I guess, and force or distance travelled, combine to give some measure of energy or interpersonal, magnetic, dynamic pull.


Well it was here, there, took no time at all in flight, yet it consumed all around, and filled every void, it was the size of a cloud bursting, a cloud filling the soul.


In this case to add to the algorithm, or the proposition; call it if you will, we will give it the dimension of an almost round-cornered trapezoid in elemental, five dimensional space.


In these modern times communication engulfs nation over nation, yet this creation held the communication platform by its own choice, for its own time, without duplex or duplicity, no modem held it bound.


For it is power of thought transmission we will, I’m sure you will agree, then give it a level of an infinite skill.


There we have it then, we’ve got some components to consider, all that’s left is the combination.


But unfortunately, as fast as we can create and combine, we must be aware that there is a strong destructive force not far away.


The next bit though is for you boys and girls to take on and complete.


All I’ll do for now is give, give, me being a generous sort, I will give you one of many possible endings:


Pulsating at the pace of the dying heart, pulsating and fading like a decaying amplitude modulation, slowly arising, slowly declining, slowly disappearing, slowly reappearing, peering in decaying exponential form.

In that one moment; here, and gone.

Passing by

The stars are popping, skip hopping

Into the blood blue, blue night sky

A further station of the cross, it is show stopping

Mopping up the blessed, blest Pope John Paul


The shooting stars fly east to west

Fading aureole carried by the borealis

Boy I’m blest

I am no longer second best


Freed from among the rest

The night time test is going west

Boy I’m blest

I’ve flown the nest


Popping eyes

Stopping lies

Dropping why’s

And hints of evermore


The blue night sky

She’ll show me where to lie

Hang my hat beyond the falling star

I’ve travelled far


To lift this lowered bar

Back up aside the Byzantine tzar

Up into the ether

With John Paul meeting Peter

Sussed not sassy

Recently presented resentment

Resent intended descent

Pretence suspended, no doubt depended


Wait, wait while I say

Wait, while I say, say

I’m at a loss, at a loss

I don’t know what to say


Recently, in the not too too distant past

Presents were passed, cards were marked

Resentment if at large, was held at bay


Wait, wait awhile, wait, stay

Stay, wait, wait while I say

I’m at a loss

I don’t know what to say


Re-sent the message not received

Intended for you found another

Descent delayed, laid upon the ledge’s edge


Wait, stay, say, say awhile

Say, wait awhile, stay

I’m at a loss

I don’t know what to say

Fingers folded the clay that moulded

The clay

Moulded

Sculptured

Warmed

Caressed

Kissed and blessed


The fingers folded

Detail’s scolded

In frustration

Hands

They are the artists enigma

To build them in a way to reflect a life


To show compassion

To show desire

Hands in motion

Yet still

Hands that work

And hands that kill


They are though for today art

Art for the gallery visitor

The register of culture in miniature

Yes today it’s Modigliani and Epstein

The Pillars of Tenderness

Blind the philistines

Better lines than words

Better blind than absurd


Cuckold to this life passing by

Walking the bridle path

While the slow boats whistle by


Beside the fields of rye

Beside the towpath

Dreamboats and dream’s hopes lie


Agent provocateur stimulates discussion

In the smoke filled rooms

Of dominoes, draught bitter, embittered delusion


Brighter lights and busy times

Brighter whites to blind the philistines
