Lost In Dimension 7

 

the austerity of the black hole

jolted me out of my apathetic slumber,

with the creation of dynamic information

it pushes the credibility of truth.

 

for those who lock themselves into answers

having a sensitive dependence on dogma

new qualities are offered with Hopf bifurcations.

 

I sat tensely with a spell over my mind,

finding parts of the harmonic proofs

the music began to decay

and tore mercilessly into the water.

 

defined by an idea of deconstruction

I pondered,

was this a coincidence with non-local effects

which was self-similar scale-invariant

and emitting a sensuous soft red haze?

 

pulsating with the reflection of mangroves in her eyes

the warm air caressed my shouting,

vacuous messages devoid of substance

taunted this ethereal gypsy.

 

injustices of the soul

echo, “Lament to a Silent Place”,

always the enigmatic imagery abounds.

 

my hand tightened around the sky

in the unknown recesses of dimension seven

as the isolated reaches of silence opened.
