Death, Birth, Milestones, Declining Years: Sinn Blwch Rappel

The death of Rappel is not so much of an instant surcease, as a gradual fizzing out from the now .   Over the years, as words loosen and then break away from his sensual hold on them, Sinn increasingly feels lost in the corridors of an immense maze cobbled together by the very same trails he used to know so well, remembering things .   His final days though, are a tip–of–tongue experience where memories become mirages that vanish when neared .

Remains

Remains

The scythe and shroud at dusk
And the grinning countenance of bone :
The gossamer-wrapped husk
Constitutes an artifact of oblivion .

THE NOVEL OF HIS LIFE starts to fade in the last chapter, font pixels evaporating, misting the very eyes that scan frantically to finish the book, the final paragraphs just barely discernible rows of glyphs, the erasure steady until the last page presents a frightening white vista .   He walks on deeper into his final memory, the snow crunching underfoot, until even that familiar sound is replaced by the hiss of oblivion ;   absolute zero .   Kelvin ZZZZZZZ evermore, sometimes a one .   More 1’s later / earlier ;   sporadically ;  more often .   Matrix of Cantor infinities .

Creatio ex nihilo—
A balloon blown from black,
One expands from zero :
The cosmos from a culdesac .

Amnesiac baseline hum,
The bell chimes, the carriage tracks .
Logic gates open and plumb ;
The novel fills from clicks ‘n clacks .

Conception

Dimpled gastrula :
The vermiform germ layers
Unfold a new life .
Embryonic heart rhythmic—
The soul climbs the neural tube .

AN INFANT RELUCTANTLY LEAVES his incubatory, dark warmth to enter a frightening, noisy coldness, the comforting, heart–beat tides of the maternal ocean cease, and the dryness of oxygen flow into his wailing lungs .   The muffled sensory data floods into his pinkish–gray wrinkles in a curious manner, right from the first ;  his sensations, like his neurons, twist upon one another architecturally .   Synesthesia :   hearing colors or seeing music or tasting touches .   The delivery room sounds red–shifted, Mother’s touch, marshmallow .

Of course, everyone experiences intersecting senses during the 49–day rebirth gauntlet, the karmic weigh–station, when the seductresses and demons cavort and affront your undead soul, probably uninitiated .   However, in life–life, swirling senses are most rare .

The text of death and rebirth
Spells the test on the Bardo

Followed short by the wrathful :
Existence interrupted ;
The radiant-Godhead soul—
Recognize or be reborn .

THUS, BLWCH MAKES HIS EXIT and entrance within the samsara drama .

Synesthesia
Knits the neural network strings,

RAPPEL’S SPLICED WIRES change like the stairs and hallways of Escher, Hogwarts :   zero-gravity synapses.   No lapses, all of the senses connect for unique integration of scattered input .

On the Fallopian path acidic
Go the spermatozoa still alive,
Comets drawn to the fallen oocyte,
Radiantly defensive and lytic .
The icy flagellum melts on impact,
The wings of Hermes, the moon in cancer—
The lemniscate snake in rain from anthers :
The uterine wall, the blastocyst taps
Like a viral auger through cell membrane—
Parasitic .   The bilateral streak
Where waterfall cells settle from a peak
Into gravid tubes, wormlike—overlain .
Tissues unfold into organ systems :

Photons

Throw off the light, photons fill the room still :
Absorption, emission, at infrared .
Light leaks out, no space is isolated ;
Photons spill out above absolute nil
From things, any time, with random vectors .

Outside the span of Big–Bang creation :
Electromagnetic radiation
Of radio red past purple vespers .
A quantum wave massless in twisted fields
Trips lightly without medium aether,
The fastest speed for any observer,
A constant through the expanding ciel .

Yet thousands of years can mark the pitch
Of a photon from the sun’s fiery under,
A bagatelle stumble walk through bumpers .
The split-second flash from flicking a switch
Belies the snail–paced slog through immense time ;
From darkness, ancient stars were set ablaze .
The eye catches light from the edge of space
Thus, history is writ upon the nightsky .

Q2

The qwerty keyboard quotidian,
Not worth a qintar ;  smacks of quackery :
A relic enacted by some quondam
Quorum to quiet the quirking of keys,
Or to quell the quiddity of morse code
Dit ’n dahs .   But one must question quiescence,
For I find no quarter in the quagmire
Of this quixotic punching paradigm,
That most find as cozy as qiviut .
Nay! I must quibble against left–handed
Overwork—from quickening to quietus .
Quest and query quashed this quizzical layout,
That piqued right down to my sequestered quarks .
Step from the status quo ;  quit the qwert :

Button depressed ;  the wait is long .
Inside looking out, uncomfortable,
The door remains open way too long .
There is a thumping underfoot
Like a heartbeat .
The door finally slides shut :   swish ;
Woosh ;  descent into darkness—
Swallowed by silence .
Noise from the previous world
Fades like ripples across a lake .

Ladies of the Six Triple Eight
Faced segregation out of the gate,
Confronted warehouses full of freight,
Packages stacked, mountains of mail ;
Their motto :   “ No mail, low morale . ”
Backlogs the battalion surveyed
And posted in half the time mislaid,
And when disbanded—no parade .
