Signals

by William Alan Rieser



Very Large Array radio telescopesThey soared
unknowingly
indiscriminately, omnidirectionally
non-phobially, non-sensory, unthoughtful.

They sped
modulatingly
digitally, precisely
non-molecularly, insubstantially, gossamer.

They permeated
etherically
gas curtains, spinning nebulae
webbed clusters, ebbed musters, burst congruities.

They encountered
reception
mystified non-sentience, mystical intellectualism
most uncaring, some concerned, several curious.

They continued
penetratingly
void crossed, star tossed
orb washed, sphere slashed, unmatched macrocosm.

They abandoned
vortexes
waxed technological, massive fantastic
unsatiated minds, inquisitive hearts, emboldened seekers.

They ignored
launches
spiral luminous takeoffs, incendiary tumescent ignitions
source trackers, genesis discoverers, determined atom hunters.
