In an Instant

In an instant
minds uncoil coils
uncoiling coils
uncoiled in coils.

Blotched ink,
refusenik tongue-clicks
jam a dissonance.
The squealing peals
dumb flummery.

Can I construe it
shorn free of old pills?

The pearl within the world
shifts scene, unseen
everywhere and nowhere,
a hollow sphere.

The pearl within the pearl
is born in every world
unborn, inborn
in an instant.
