why else call it the Big Bang?
From background noise to formal structure:
Sibelius heard chords reverberating in a forest,
while Kepler, pursuing the Pythagorean string
combined geometry with harmonic intervals,
finding spaces between the planets
relative to fourths and fifths.
molecules and ever exotic sub-particles,
matter is alive with waves and pattern of vibration,
some only the dog, bat or dolphin, can detect;
all things have their sympathetic note –
there is tone and pitch in a blade of grass
a lump of coal. Water crystals change shape
and distort in response to varied frequencies
of voiced emotions – there is hurt
and healing in it.
