Click hereno longer than
the nanosecond
in which a photon
bleeds encapsulated
energy signalling
presence and position
did I wait
no further than
the space between
now and then
where a thin
slice of present
splits history
into record
and uncertainty
did you get
no louder than
this thought
tearing grey matter
apart
did I speak
no slower than
the carousel
of tides
and the swirl
of galaxies
did you turn
no longer than
this iota
did it take
to still
my panic
this time

Anonymousabout 20 years agoYour words cut, slice, move through space like a prima ballerina's leg of steel in an allegro that stops time. Bravo.
Icingsugarabout 20 years agoAfter reading denis hale's poem listed above, this was such a contrast that I had to take a breather before being able to read it. Small, humble and delicate. A significant blink of an eye put into words.
Anonymousabout 20 years agoLovely use of dry words to produce a succulent poem. A five, fer sure.
