creatures between mountains

Buzzing from Japan drifts easts

my guess:

A half physical, half meta-physical cloud of electric gases

caused by the heavy lighting of Tokyo

drifts through the portal of mountains, their very dynamics changed,

and out across the Pacific, disintigrating and reintegrating

become gas then steam then smoke.

Pockets of energy we can't understand release from the surface of the salty ocean 

the birds avoid them

the electrical cloud meets them, secrets of biology cling in the moisture

the passage of time secretes iridescence 

as it shimmers its way to the coastline 

Mountains like magnets bring in the reinstated bio-technological phenomenon 

as white cascades of jewels each uniquely give expression and form then vanish forever

I'm sitting here watching the snow through a window

It's rare, I hear

I imagine jewel encrusted crustaceans, 

on white sandy beaches

as royalty of the sea

melting somewhere in between the slips of eternity

and solidifying in another

constantly 

Sometimes you get to actually see these things

They're pretty weird

I particularly like writing that straddles the fence on two widely-disparate ideas. All the while, I could not tell if you were referring to something you actually experienced or if you were describing an imaginary possibility as yet unknowable perhaps. Another juxtaposition about your writing here is how you use both technological geeky ramblings combined with lyrical poetic expressions. This might be the poster child for not falling into any particular genre! Your writing refuses to be pinned down, but I did mostly think of it as how there are energy patterns we have not defined (we humans who think we know it all & can measure it all) and who knows, Japan might actually be sending us energy patterns we cannot even fathom!
