Intro

O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays

Their last upon mine anguish gaze!

Beside this desk, at dead of night,

Oft have I watched to hail thy light:

Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,

With soothing power, thy radiance stole!

In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,

Freely, some mountain height sublime,

Round mountain caves with spirits ride,

In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,

And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew

My spirit, in thy healing dew!

Goethe: Faust I.

Electromagnetics and Danse Macabre

Bury me under a lightning rod,

in a copper casket

filled with brine

from the dead sea.

That's my only wish.

Turritopsis nutricula can stay,

if she can

handle all the salt

in my electric repose.

Place sand, not earth

on the top of me.

That I can swim out

through fulgurites and

wrest the air again

into my cured lungs.

"You can in fact,

danse if you want to." - me(4)

Don't touch my head

if I appear to be dead

because when I wake,

I may make the mistake

of collecting your hand.

You'll need those,

in theory and fact.

Just save your tears

I'm covered in salt.
