eclipse Posted April 4, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I get the last part, I'll have to let this marinate. I'll be back. ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted April 5, 2020 Share 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 Share 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.
