Christine Cassano – Featured Artist
Networks
the star network holds itself
close in category to its other
affiliates. it recites poetry
and discusses what it feels
as it squanders itself from
lifetime to lifetime.
the stars are currently in love,
with constant flashes reminding
themselves of themselves.
we can’t see the strings, but they are
there like rubber bands and
bandits, stealing sound and motion
from one another like mothers teaching
their daughters about the plateaus of life
and the effect silence may have
upon the heart.
the vapid moon watches closely
and waits patiently for the journey of the
star empire to entertain its glory
upon its vast stage.
no stars are lost. some shine more prominently
then others, but this is just the
illusion of time.
the magnificence of life prevails
here, through makeshift pyramids
gridded in the sky
built by gods for families of
insatiable sub-gods
or other homogenous
homology groups that rejoice
by implication of
accidental awareness.
we are all systems,
plasmas of circuitry, iridescent,
communicating in fields
of each other’s masterpiece.
