MESSAGE

we made it      out of       listening to
our wavelengths        which we had 
our ears      were composed      of them too
and our souls        and our souls

wavelengths aren't all        tangible     you know
where they are but          can't see/hear/
smell them      we know what there is
what we are      our beautiful, aging bodies

show their wax and wane     inside our souls'
wavelengths      see them?    with yr seeing
