Amok Time Raised hand, Palm forward, Thumb extended, Fingers parted between Ring and Middle. Live Long and Prosper: Practiced gesture that Pits dexterity – manual, Moral – against the Innate intensity of Vulcan-human emotion, Mastered, corralled for the Good of the species. Spock melts down, Must mate or die – Pon Farr. Enterprise changes course for Vulcan Ithaca. Spock, Stranger to himself at home, Debuts the Salutation in Amok Time, second-season Premiere. Birkat Kohanim. Priestly benediction - Thumbs touching, Raised hands form Overlapping window lattices Scattering the light of Magic-lantern melds and Jump-cuts: Displacement, exile and Homecoming. Forces centrifugal, Centripetal: Kleos, Nostos Wanderlust, Nostalgia. From Litvak to Lemba, Salonica to Samarkand, Storied strands Entwine, untwine the Chromosomal caduceus: Aaron’s Rod. As David Among the Ba’athists, He hoodwinks Damascene Achish of Gath. Deeply Ingrained in Syria’s elite, Shortlisted for Deputy Defence Minister, his Cover is blown when they Triangulate his transmitter. As Deborah, she Judges Laurel Canyon with an Open door; creates Counterculture crucible with her Graffiti Wall. Emerges from Creeque Alley Mugwumps Concussed, gains three notes in her Vocal range. At twenty-five, Boldly decides to raise her daughter - Sired by a baritone bluesman - Alone. As Dean of the Marburg School, his Teachings move a moony Russian youth to abandon Musical composition; to Value pure concepts over Intuition. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Rejected in love, the Youth mopes around Marburg, where Particles, cobblestones regard Him with sullen scorn. His Instinct bids the Youth take one step at a time, Back to Russia where, among Futurists, he answers his Calling in verse. As Doyen of Montreal’s coffee-house darlings, Acid-dropped Hermit of Hydra, He dwells among Arvanites whose Forebears flee Ottoman oppression. Later, ordained Silent One, He waits hand and foot on the Roshi. Hearing of his plight, Chabadniks set out to rescue the High Priest from Mount Baldy. They bring whisky. He has plastic cups. His Channukah candles guttering, They mellow to his zazen as Contemplative tuning fork. Drunk and humbled, they depart, Happy that he still holds fast to Aaron’s Rod. Middle and Ring parted Pull us away from our centre, Into Kleos, Wanderlust. Thumbs touching Pull us back to our centre, Into Nostos, Homecoming. The Name peeks through the Latticework of the letter Shin: Shin of Shaddai - Almighty, Unknowable; Shin of Shekhinah - Her Presence Dwells within and without us, Strangers to ourselves in Amok Time. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Penumbra Penumbra - Limbered with Aplomb of Ages Unborn. Jacob’s Ladder - Amid a litter of Vapid suburbs - Glimpsed, Countenanced from Forgotten Lookouts. Throughfares, Appetency-spoored, Throng with progeny; Jangle idly with Clamour of galère, Ill-willed coterie. Feral squall of Rout-scrum Multitudes in the Midst of Abounding Wonder. Now - Each Second courts Cataclysm. Now - Each Lust-itch Lifts the Lid on the Abysmal. Ineffable Horror of Glib Lucidity - Held, Noted in a Holloway of Blackened Houses. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 After Я провижу гордые тени (“I foresee proud shadows”, 1899), by Valery Bryusov (1873-1924), Russian Symbolist

μύω (múō, “to shut, close”) +‎ ὤψ (ṓps, “eye”), i.e. “Squinting” The Skilled squinting of Greek sages: Diogenes once Dismissed a king for Troubling his noonday Bedazzlement. Like Whited Sepulchres scolding the Hoi Polloi for the Eye gunk that dapples clear- Sightedness, while blind to the Eclipse that defines Reason’s purview, they are Dracula before his Own mirror image. Spooling Ariadne’s thread, Maze-bound, they are unaware that Minotaur - gaunt Pariah - now pines for the Gristly scarecrow flesh of Platonic frame. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Fatal Day in Halberstadt 1361 Decameron‘s Twelfth Night. Lollards hitch their prayers, their Plight to the Morning Star. Pestis Secunda scourges Plantagenet England. Giotto’s Last Judgement Slumbers in umbrage on the Cusp of the Quattrocento. Halberstadt, Flush, bustling prince-bishopric - its Cathedral-treasure stash of Relics looted at the Sack of Constantinople – hosts the First of its Kind: Chromatic keyboard, Twelve half-tones arranged in Octaves. Halberstadt - where, at St. Burchardi’s Monastery, Cistercian Sisters Scale the canonical hours: Minor - Terce, Sext, None and Compline; Major - Matins, Lauds and Vespers, in Perpetual rounds of Work, prayer and Lectio Divina. A century before, They nestle in a fecund vessel of Mystical vision, where Mechthild of Magdeburg - Fluid, erotic, vernacular - Lights the way for Meister Eckhart; where Mechtilde, Helfta’s Nightingale, Dispenses Special Grace to Dante as Matelda. Six-hundred-and-thirty-nine years Slip by. Millennium tenor Deeds St. Burchardi’s to Zen musical maverick already Eight years passed: Bird now uncaged - Purposeless, intentionless - Pecking away at membranes - Temporal, musical – from the Beyond. The Six-hundred-and-thirty-nine-year Lease unfolds As Slow as Possible on an Organ fashioned for this purpose. Hiss of compressors, taut notes Coasting over billowing groans until 2640. Pauses a week before 9/11: seventeen months of silence, then Nine movements, each lasting Seventy-one years. Chord kept up over seven years, between Benedict’s flight to Castel Gandolfo and Second Lockdown. Austere piety, Avant-garde whimsy - ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Spurning utility, instrumentality - Partaking in visions that far Outstrip lifetimes, Current-day zeitgeist confines. Contemplative prayer, Playful contingency - Tentative forays into Deep Time, Possible only when one Listens closely with Open heart, Open mind. Eternity disclosed in Nugacity, ephemera: Birds, lilies, Mustard seeds. Cloistered life, Choral work Whetting one’s Keenness for the Core - Still and small. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025

Dies Irae Childhood hidey-holes, Dens, boltholes - Rot-hollowed hamlets. Weeded, dark-plumaged Hundreds at prayer: Sisters, mothers chanting Compline mysteries Abroad, ashore. Windows folded with Hands poised, paused. Stillbirth. Blue-veined Riddle hushed amid the Rank-trimmed pageantry. Purple-tongued jester Gibbers in still delirium at an Untenanted catacomb. Lush-lapped thorns finger Fever: Blood-spat cackle raised from Famished dreams. Panic rocks the death-rattled Coracle. Blanched shadows - Strangers - Crowd the Addled steps of a Landing stage. Vile body Breeds rats and lilies. Supplicant-sinner Thirsts for Cerulean. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2025 After Gericht (“Tribunal”, “Judgement”, 1912-14), by Austrian Expressionist poet, Georg Trakl (1887-1914)
