Unstrung

PHOTOGRAPHER’S JOURNAL: 

No Electricity

Headbanger pumps

and enough gasoline

to empty hydraulic wells

and fluid basins

of a century of progress

half a century gone.

Silence and space

when they pause.

No heavy sounds,

sole-felt sounds,

bone-rap sounds, 

moving mass,

Immovable abutment.

No iron clank,

No clunk-

and-rumbling 

of unbundled tube.

No forlorn, whining

extrusion solo, soul-felt and whole.

Only headbanger’s return.
