a poem for Salem’s poem

 a poem for Salem’s poem


the booming of whale song

hooves across the savanna 

the screech of a raptor

a breath at sunset

moonsong above

the crackle of a camp fire  

the yes of locked eyes

yes

some words reverberate 

homeless in the tome of the ear

restless as the background radiation 

across the universe of humanity they roam

awakening in every hearer

a deep longing 

for we are all lost 

in the cacophony of being

dancing like butterflies 

their beauty is mesmerising

eternal in their transience 

they boom
