✏️ Due to the amazing response to the Public Art Poetry Contest 🤩 —and to give our juror, Poet Laureate Angelique Palmer, enough time to select the best poem— we will announce the winner in May. 🎉 In the meantime, enjoy “Wavelengths” by Jennifer Addie Quarrie.🧡

Wavelengths By Jennifer Addie Quarrie [A pantoum inspired by The Messenger (2023) — Nicholas Zimbro]

Within the energetic tumult of intention
Searching a multitude of wavelengths
An instant of clear connection
Before singularity is swept away again

Searching a multitude of wavelengths
For the language of heart above mind
Before singularity is swept away again
Thoughts colliding never to separate

For the language of heart above mind
Spoken with the lightness of air
Thoughts colliding never to separate
The spectrum collapsing back into white

Spoken with the lightness of air
Carrying perception’s heavy density
The spectrum collapsing back into white
Saying nothing and everything at once

Carrying perception’s heavy density
Within the energetic tumult of intention
Saying nothing and everything at once
An instant of clear connection
