Beyond Our Technobabble
What new words
could measure the heaviness
of planets or gods?
What Spirituality,
what volcano,
what solemn beauty,
speaks from the metal-meshing speakers?
Our language lacks the umph
to articulate our catastrophe.
These wires
cannot hold spirits
within a machine;
Circuits will not bind
earthquakes or the wind;
no microphone
could record the final command of a God.
