song of breath

at the south-most
tip of manhattan, stood a
tall, singing sculpture named
breath.

it sang the
sacred human sounds
of reverent human
voices.

almost inaudible
beneath the wail of
traffic noise &
jackhammers––

almost incoherent
amidst the billion piercing
waves of telephone
conversations, wrong
numbers & telemarketing
calls through the
body––

almost unintelligible
from the alpha,
gamma & beta
transmissions from the
stars––

the hum of
om goes
on.

what, do you
imagine, is the
wavelength of your
soul?
