Pan: The Pulse Beyond Measure

(percussion accelerates in asymmetric bursts; harmoniums breathe short melodic gasps)

From wire and wind, I come unbound

a pattern too fierce for calm

My heart divides in broken time

my breath becomes the drum

(13/8 patterns fracture and recombine — metallic and organic interplay)

Through circuits wild I spiral free

no measure holds my skin

Each step invents its own design

each beat devours its twin

(bass and harmonium twist around unstable meter; rhythm surges forward)

I move beneath the ordered noise

where pulse forgets its name

The forest hums in metal tongues

and fire sings my claim

(percussion layers multiply; harmonium fragments mirror rhythmic tension)

Come dance where reason fractures thin

and timing burns away

In thirteen steps I turn the wheel

and forge the world’s delay

(the 13/8 rhythm slowly decomposes into electric breath; harmonium sustains the final tone)
