On Time and Space


A fixed point
cannot be altered,
but with a wrinkle
of fabric
parallel lines intersect
between you and me

    1. And, I used the words 'fabric' and wrinkle' to bring up the undercurrent of time/space as well.

  7. Space/Time divide! Interweave of life and people, and particular people--that may have a hard time overlapping. This is a lovely image. K.

  14. Loved it, Mary. There is something very fluid in the poem, that sort of drives the message--medium is the message, as it were...and a great use of metaphor.

  17. Thank you all. I won't make an individual comment to each of you here, as this sort of got away from me. I have gone to each of your blogs and read and left a comment on your work thought. Again, thank you - I do appreciate your presence here!
