Ideas of Infinity

Sudden
like the burst
of a thousand
molecular spasms
cradling light
in its earthy bosom
our precious
our love

There's no other aspect
no luminescence
that propels us as readily
through dense curtains of air
so thick in their pollutants

and we
with craniums
with atomic minds
disrupting the dense hypocrisy
of our forefathers...
of ourselves

like the idea
shot us
right out of a canon
and our thoughts
soaring ahead
became a bullet
through God's brain

A life

to live
perchance
to dream

Potential Energy

Stillness sits alone
inside this space
as warm light
caresses white walls
spotting them
with splashes of shadow
and amber glow

Ideas
and all acquired knowledge
rest deep
on shelves
in pages
or in chaotic sequence
scattered across
the chilled stone floors

Memoirs and relics
of association
have placed themselves
knowingly
within their
proper places
ready to remind
and recall

All sound has ceased
and this space
lies stagnant
as the forgotten pond
waiting
with disregard for time
as dust
hugs the cracks and crevices
for a stone
to break the surface
instill life
m o ve m ole cul es.
