Synapse

 

Connections to connections,

cross-overs, junctions,

motorways and byways:

the minutiae and scrutiny

of thought and imagination

heralds motion.

The lifting of a tea cup,

the formulation of a theory,

the interpretation of a scene -

embraced in a single organ.

The single organ – an orchestra

in conductorless experiment

investigates and reports,

visualises and, like the tangled roots

and branches of trees

brings growth.

All the winds and breezes,

aromas and colours,

whispers and chorales

interpreted

in the twinings and internetting

of a brain.
