POEM OF THE DAY

Physics

 

Hungry as the rose

in an albino's eye,

my mind peeps tom,

 

two good pupils

suckle the gleam or rime

of limerance in the body of light,

 

as heavy, freaked photons

chair dance in the bounded curve

of her immense gravity.

 

Weighty things become energy

quoth the physicist,

and energy, sang Angel Blake, is eternal delight.

 

I, like Isaac Newton

only refine the equation and optics

reflecting the fractured colors

 

of Solomon and Sheba's

stone temple psalms.

Then, my brain huge with number

 

I retire to a virgin's bedroom

to read of that mighty lady, Babylon,

in the book of Revelations.

Dana Pattillo, 1997

(PoD 17)
