Surveyor's Prayer

Young Diffraction - Thomas Young 1803 - Public Domain


Burrowing math toward a core

tunnels turn back toward their origins

seeking light from passing inward

illuminating fractured symmetry

 

Daylight is an arc toward this

context in service of time’s decay

the alignment of age pushing and pulling

of body leveraging weight

 

What we conceived lies waiting

in mocking continuums flash red lights

blinking in solemn arrangements

beyond all order within their patterns

 

The landscape surveys ground beneath them

drawing out this subterranean

assortments of colors and numbers

laying them down throwing away pieces

 

Without concern nor conviction

nor acknowledgement to leverage the whole

practicality washes away its grounding

debris amasses the wash downstream

 

MM 7.2020
