I want to reclaim so many words from the INDUSTRIES of today:
—
Reverberate is a wild, wide, ecstatic word that could cover the
earth with waves of pressure all by itself! The sound of a gong
struck by Olympus-like gods — huge and soul-changing,
sweeping aside old leaves and leftovers
for something fresh and new,
stirring the heart to savor empty space,
the wide open(ing) stillness after
—
its many
returning
resonances
—
so that its waters are clear
for whatever comes ) next.
