Words and Images

Can Move to Mute Music

Words and images can move to mute music

As Anthi floats flawlessly towards Em

Momentarily anacoluthic

He forgets the four letters after M

Words and images can create a star

Another sun with a different Earth

Humanoids do not need to walk too far

To witness some of infinity’s worth

Words and images can degenerate

Into insidious opinions

Tending to efficiently propagate

For the sake of thriving dominions

Words and images through Anthi can be

Permutations of her M on a tree

-----

This rather unusual sonnet was dedicated a while ago to my fictitious Anthi but also to the real one.
