Orchestra
fourteen feet covered
resonate like a howl
in unison
they are a single movement
translated into nuances
by many colors
like lianas in the jungle
they maintain the constant rhythm
of the Earth's breathing
not governed by rules or leaders
the conductor of the orchestra
are the notes created
when the baton rises
Eye could never whisper
I could never
whisper
the same tone
your eyes make
when they open
they reveal
centuries and fractions
of immeasurable sides of
you
I
eye - I
could never whisper
the whole history of
-you-
