I imagine the voices of angels singing precisely like this.
Their voices expand and fill multiverses, lifeless and alive, alike.
Their beauty is uncanny and every note encircles worlds upon worlds.
As long as I surprise myself with unknown communicants, I continue.
Angels, you have given me life for a night of beauty and mystery.
Angels, we have given you our love, the terrible love of all things
alive, as well.

I think I'm happiest with this rendition of Maya, which owes
something to the Cocteau Twins, cathedrals, the Grand Canyon,
the Cayman Islands, tourmaline, Eyebeam, and Ackermann's
Repository. When I can sink into music, when music envelops me
like an uncanny dwelling moving among the worlds, I'm sublime,
content, and there are rooms open in each of the ten directions.

the screen appeared a featureless window or cloud
containing not just the simulacrum of the real, but
that corner of the real itself, within the sectors
