Strings

Torn between dimensions
one and ten,
these tangled threads
vibrate; a symetrical web
that binds the stars
with celestial dust.

Spinning and spinning
so fast
atop the multiverse
russet red, violent orange
a cacophoney of silence.

Here; the Nazi's vanquish the Allies
there, the dodos and dinosaurs together
build a bridge between large and small.

Lets celebrate these strings
and take our Ancestors to Africa
to ski.

Having taken a longish break from the cafe I had forgotten just how magically you weave words Paulo. This is a lovely appreciation of the way life is linked told in bold lines. African's skiing is a wonderful image with which to make the point right at the end.

Thank you J, & glad you enjoyed.

This is an engaging piece... I greatly admire such a poem. Taking our ancestors to Africa to ski is a curious line, (which I love. An awesome finishing line).

Thanks for the enjoyable read, paulo.

This was so nice poetry. Every time has two shades.... this was nice.

This touches on a theory I am interested in. Using "strings" to explain it's construct is excellent. Love the final stanza too :) Penny

[Pól]

Have you written about this theory?

[just Penny]

Yes, academically, not poetically :)

Dude, this is so good. I have always loved your works... they have an effective on everyone who reads them, this one was so powerful. This write has many ways it could go... kind of like it's open for interpretation... I love that!

[Pól]

well tbh I don't think I'm much of a writer really, but i do like to write in a way that is open to interpretation by the reader, so I'm pleased you liked that aspect of this poem.

BTW- "DUDE"; I think you are spending too much time with your American friends!
Thanks v much for the review

Wow, this is fantastic... such a web of words that lead to many thoughts and ideas... I can take this write to many places and one perhaps not ever reaching the full meaning of this piece...that is what i love about it! I will definitely have to visit more often in my strolls through poetry. Awesome work.

"russet red, violent orange

I just had to quote that for the magnificent image you painted there. Beautiful.
