Say it. Say it. The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.

Say it. Say it. The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.
Muriel Rukeyser, from The Speed of Darkness (1968)
Resurrection music, silence, and surf
No longer speaking Listening with the whole body And with every drop of blood Overtaken by silence
But this same silence is become speech With the speed of darkness.
Between between the man : act exact woman : in curve senses in their maze frail orbits, green tries, games of stars
shape of the body speaking its evidence
