Awakening

Awakening

A new awareness seeps through
electromagnetic ripples
just like a slap given across telepathy

we're in the throes of struggles of all kinds
on battlefields of concrete

the others try to
orcherstrate our future concretely
but

a rustling hymn, rusty in every note
hits our every membrane
joining the tumult in the hearts

the ululations crowd in our throats
like an ultimatum
wiring together our tongues
that until yesterday howled
with virtuosic gibberish
