trembling treble remembered

trembling treble remembered

the glass, smashing, hot, on sidewalks,
trampled & dragged under hi-tops.
sound hits like lightning to the senses
w/ each screeching reprise

a chorus, an explosion, a force
abrades like sandpaper to bone
all over, tearing, moving, shaking,
like the sound of sound breaking

& then, in the afterward, trembling,
a single silent note is punctuated
by fuzzing waves of no known origin,
the universes' eternal radio.
