eclipse Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 quantum ghosts paint the train destined For a single point.Dying stars miss their Appointment with infinity.requiem in Gravitys cathedral.The imperceptible call Of the darkness of space for comprehensions caress.Cauterize the Arm of a deity to colonize his vision To drown his chisel as he explores the Drafts of new worlds. 1 Quote

tonyv Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 The title is extremely provocative; I love it. Taken together with the poem it evokes origins, from that of the author to beyond, to elsewhere, then onwards to an otherworldy realm.

JoelJosol Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 The diction and choice of words - quantum, dying stars, and space - brings to me thoughts about astronomy, structure of things, the burning gas of stars, the lack of apparent stability of things. I found the term 'cauterize' and was able to link it with the burning stars. Then, the poem switched from that complex entanglement of space to the challenge of writing a poem, as complex as astrospace.
