Time Dreams Redux



(after E. E. Cummings)


ALPHA


time's mightiest dream

fills unspace with lowliest freedom

choose

NOW to act

in alabaster innocence

we

yes the day

its

magnanimous

blessing


we

skip through

greenvanishing

meadows

leap to

pale

shimmering skies

(while memory

whittles

away

the past)


we

carry little

people's

humility;clouds

drain heavens

gates

of slippery/silver

waters


languid lovers lie

in curly locked loins

their coitus

the rasping

friction

of IMmortality

the universe dances

to canticles

of calculus

God lurks

in

unlucky alleyways

plays dice

with

Einstein's
