Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

April 19, 2019: Song of Interstellar Space

Song of Interstellar Space

Through the dark depths of interstellar space,
through the inky aeons of night
reverberates the buzz
of creation's
refrain.

Constrain
consternation's
disbelief, qualms, and fuzz;
their presence will never incite
your comprehension of the music's pace.

Listen to the whispers from deep dark space,
the crackle that is not starlight,
that sets the muse abuzz
like a cation's1
refrain.

The rain
and duration
of this puzzling buzz
wakens curiosity's light
on the dark depths of interstellar space.
