Apart From You

Apart From You


“Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.”
Democritus

“It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.”
T. S. Eliot

Black now, as the bright center of the earth;
still as the moving tides be moved,
the liquid center, the drip, drop, gush,
the birth pangs borne for you.

Slow turning, the whipped heat flowing
over the face, the opaque, diaphanous view,
able to see a reaction to your action-
the white veils subsuming, growing.

Unable from here to conceive, the
when, why, how, what, where

only aware of the immensity, the beauty,
the energies and potential, the gravity in you,

missing the drag down, the unrelenting press.

The point from which all matters open,
your wide arms extending to me,

hoping to have the whole world in your hands.
