The Empire Builder

Night and day are playing

with fire burning beneath

a full long night’s moon.

Midwinter saturn grows heavy

on a lonesome trajectory

over Columbia River Gorge.

As a collaborator with creation,

remember on or about October

a slight chill of reset off angle 26.5.

Did you feel cosmic music resonate

off magnetic membranes,

petroglyphs bring dimensions alive?

"The brain is wider than the sky."

Collide ID- collide 5777,

another verse another year

and there is no longer a heaven!

“We may always be what we might have been.”

Aunt Adelaide never existed,

yet here she lies next to supersymmetry

withering in the harsh light of data.

Getting in a taxicab with Mandela

wrench time slips at #1729 slicing the cube;

observe changes in dark matter...

Die for beauty! Dark energies repulse

isolating zero point energy,

misremember ten years ago -a wagered bet?

Well, Susy is still lonely without her partner,

one cognac for Atlas changes the rules

relaxing as the universe evolves...

Cascading westward the river rewinds

Hamilton to Hood, aboard The Empire Builder,

day breaking proof nature is never kind!

All bets were off! All wondering over,

puzzling roles of beauty and truth.

There was no weather the day following your death...
