Hermes: The Frequency of Passage

(harmonium drones weave with bright mechanical flickers; bass pulse quickens)

He walks between the signals’ edge

through corridors of light

His steps invent the path they tread

his song reforms the night

(dual rhythms converse — quick pulse vs. slow gravity)

He whispers through the copper veins

of every word and wire

Each syllable a sleight of hand

each echo born of fire

(percussion doubles back on itself — a trick of tempo and tone)

He steals the silence from the gods

and sells it to the storm

He carries meaning like a spark

and leaves no single form

(harmonium lines ascend and fold, melodic motion against deep bass)

I follow him through frequencies

where thought becomes design

He laughs beneath the voltage arc

and names the noise divine

(harmonium and percussion fade in counter-motion)

Still he runs between the worlds

and carries sound as sign
