    Infinity Feelings

    The blue hue of swirls
    forces my hand -
    I must admit:
    doubt;
    fear;
    longing inside me where the facade crumbles –
    the only voice is mine
    and it only knows truth.

    It seems ages ago,
    that we all sat,
    in comfort, on padded seats
    in the dark,
    reclined,
    staring up at the hemisphere.

    Chris’ laser show on the ceiling, dancing,
    Pink Floyd, I think, playing.
    An alternative to the infinity of stars and Carls.
    (Had to draw the youngsters in, somehow.)

    Now, the shell is dark.
    Perception lost.

    Now, I have to go outside,
    and stare back in time,
    the way the cave man did.

    How is it that I write about infinity over the weekend, set it to auto post today, and then visit your site and see a prompt on….infinity?

    In Finity

    1.

    There will
    Never
    Be enough
    Time.

    And yet,
    Time,
    or
    Space,
    (or both)
    Is really all
    There are
    or is
    or ever was
    or will be.

    (But for a little energy.)

    2.

    Finity is sure unsatisfying.
    Which makes it all the sweeter.

    3.

    I spent six years being fifteen.
    And six weeks being twenty-five.
    If this keeps up,
    I think I’ll be moving back in time
    Before I make fifty.

    4.

    All this has happened before
    Or never did
    Or isn’t.

    which is why I dream
    of endless space and without
    end time which is why

    One, two, three

    wrote Gamow,

    or more exact

    Gamov,

    from big bang

    to tomorrow,

    atomic fact

    was off

    beyond the

    vicinity

    of Gamov’s

    infinity.

    Ellipsis.

    below us
    they murmur in every
    direction, art filters
    through their teeth
    while we lay, not in silence,
    across tiles with acrylic feet
    positioned at the end
    of blankets

    your body beside mine,
    her body beside mine,
    and I am breathing in
    stars at one
    in the morning with
    you both
    strangers known
    from past lives

    pillows and sheets smother us
    with the scent of a home,
    not my home,
    atop this roof and below our skies
    we struggle for warmth–
    bodies beside mine–
    and grip blankets close
    toes fastened
    on this moment
    where we
    strangers known
    overlap
    begging stoic stars
    to continue
    to continue

    Yesterday’s beyound infinity, tomorrows beyound today
    Remorse and tightened grips over what will never stay;
    All those fleeting memories and youth that was admired,
    Time comes with a vengence and is here but not desired.
