In the beginning was Sound / the drumbeat of Creation / throbbing to a climatic bang / that banged and bangs still/                      Creation / as heard on Earth.*

This African body vibrates / dancing and swirling with the Earth / the drumbeat of Creation / in rhythm with the Sun / the Sound of Creation as seen on the Earth.  

This African heart pounds / with the rhythm of Creation / joining others scattered across this Earth / hanging on a string that vibrates with of Sound of Creation / as felt on Earth.

Waves cascade with a booming Sound / waves high and low as far as the eye cannot see / waves crushing on shore that the ear cannot hear/but for the throbbing heart in the ribcage / in forest roots within / the rhythm of Creation / etched on this Earth / as flowers and soil / dolphins and seaweed / beetles and butterflies / trees and grass/ elephants and birds /… all echoes of Creation / hanging on a swirling ball of hot lava / Earth / number 4 from the Zero point of this place.

In the beginning was Sound / the drumbeat of Creation / throbbing to a climatic bang / that banged and bangs still/                      Creation / as lived on Earth** ….

To be continued.
