"of Resonances"

...for Soren Barrett

 

Beyond the glassy glow of our screens,  
your fierce chords slash through dawn’s stillness,  
raw as a knife-edge hymn,  
exposing marrow buried in muteness.  

Between verse and pixel’s hush,  
I map the tremours of your primal howl—  
a tempest that churns folk ballads  
into a hurricane of visceral sound.  

Your voice, a bone-shuddering baritone,  
rips the veneer off silent complacency,  
and I hold every jagged echo  
as gospel in my code-worn bones.  

So, here’s a stubby torch for our data dusk:  
an analogue beacon slicing the haze,  
where your savage music collides  
with the grain of paper and pixel.  

To Soren, whose words bleed truth like blood,  
may our mateship chart these wild arcs,  
and every raw note find harbour  
in the constellations we build together.

    Thunderstruck, tongue stuck words caught in the throat, such beautiful lines this message entwines with words wrote. Poetic word choice in this piece cut to the marrow of meaning and the reader feels the scrape of the knife edge drawn along bone surface. A powerful blend of the cold technology of the present and the warm visceral flesh and blood, fountain of poetic emotion that bleeds on the page but dissolves into pixels on glass. Honored to see my name where a thousand others more worthy would serve as well for this masterful work. Thank you so much for sharing

      But as with a straw that broke the camel’s back, yours is the drop that filled the bucket. And not to worry, there are others to whom their work would serve as well. 🙏🏻🕊

        This poem is breathtaking! The imagery and rhythm make the music almost tangible you can feel the raw intensity and reverence. I love how it balances the visceral power of the sound with the warmth of friendship. Truly a master piece.
