Nowhere on Earth

by Kathleen Wilson

I want to be a gimble in
the arms of your galaxy

I want to pose as
a naked black hole in your dynamo

to form a cross harmonic reference
to you like wordsleaningtogether in a sentence

I want to be the tick
in your cosmic clock

I want to try mass coupling like Mars and Venus
to draw some gravity from the sun

I want to do glue gymnastics
with you as a tidal pair morphing in orbit

I want to couple with electricity and magnetism
to create arcing cyclonic swirls

I want play with you in whirlpools and multiple poles
of opposing polarities which can each be identified

I want to collide in chaos
with spins having no alternatives

I want to go every which way
directed by our spin momentum collective

I want to cancel the threshold
of a normal galaxy core

we'll result in outpour
of huge surges in the higher frequencies

and super high excitations
that produce residual high energy

we'll cause an overplus of the state contained
in normal matter that gets tossed assunder

because we are are all lower glow matter
made of positive charge

because we're inertia decoupled from gravity
with no magnetic moment

we're a little bit of chaos in motion
harmoniously resolved as distortion of a perfect circle

where our forces seek their intrinsic rest state effects
of fundamental desire

I was captivated throughout, the universal metaphors never making me tired or impatient. The use of "fundamental" in the end caught me off-guard. I didn't expect it in the midst of such etheral qualities. At first it didn't seem to fit with the flow. But I chewed on it a bit (as respect for your work demands at times) and concluded, after all, that it does fit, as in "fundatmental" = foundational, which = a beginning - because throughout, that was the sensation I was having, of elements coming together with such force that creation occurs. You amaze me.

"I want to collide in chaos with spins having no alternatives" - this one is my favorite! This is other-worldly - oh, heck, I love stanza two also!! hehehehhehe

Cooling bodies gravitate and heat as they gravitate--heating bodies radiate, and cool as they radiate. You cover all that and more here, beautifully. And it becomes so cerebral here:"I want to couple with electricity and magnetism to create arcing cyclonic swirls". This is grand. Thanks.

#1!!! Right where you belong! Love the format of coupled lines and the constant "I want"...very seductive and sexy poem, Kathleen. you ROCK (my world)!

Hmmm, I had no idea astrophysics could be so much fun..:)
