Resonance

Post by sasha »

 
a wildflower
at the edge of a stream
bobbing in time to the water...

a child on a swing
shifting her weight
until her feet touch the sky...

a car stuck in snow
rocking back and forth
to break itself free...

it was right after kent state
one of my physics profs
filled a tabletop aquarium
with water -
lifted a corner, set it down
sending a little wave across and back...
he lifted it again, set it down
again
and again
yet again
til water splashed onto the counter...

make little waves, he said -
make waves

wonderful poetry, tied to a recollection
This piece has real power
to bust open the dam and let the words flow downstream
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

Beautiful moments-
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
