Analysis of Nocturne Megahertz



The Poetry Channel when open,
its wavelength sharp and clear
Searching for me as it calls for my voice,
in moments dark but dear

The Poetry Channel if distant, remote,
streaming above my thoughts
Transmitting in silence, antenna to blame,
whose frequency I’ve sought

The Poetry Channel with static tuned out,
 its bandwidth framed in gold
Quiet by day, amplifying at night
—to broadcast time untold

(Dreamsleep: November, 2015)
