The Perseus Cluster, 250 million light years from Earth.
The meeting of minds is akin to
Great continents sliding, overriding
Each other
Moving incrementally,
Interlocking fractaled inlet, cove and bay
So that
Rock
Sand
Earth
Mind
Thought
Spirit
Become
One.
In the Perseus Cluster
A black hole sings
A single B flat note
Fifty-seven octaves below
Middle C,
The lowest sound
In the universe.
This celestial song
Serves a purpose.
These sound waves
With a frequency of ten million years
Transport energy that
Warms the cluster
Which, in turn,
Regulates the rate of
New star formation
And the evolution of galaxies.
Such is the meeting of minds.
