looking for answers
by Charlie Morganafter i had journeyed so long, i sat.
pondered the one universe as several;
being tired, i saw the brown leaf
that went to sleep on Carissa's eyes.
i turned my collar against the wind,
side-faced the cool breeze, hunkered;
looked blankly 'til the dinosaurs
found every summer's Siberian bog
and i lay with the last behemoth,
hair of an earlier extinction
and touched History, wondered.
bones of my fathers' digested. 03/24/2008 Posted on 03/24/2008

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/25/08 at 05:54 AM I love the sense of long pondering here... it takes on a surreal, all embracing grasp of history, with humor, grace and an appropriate inspired bewiderment. |
| Posted by Keith McFarlane on 03/29/08 at 06:03 AM chaz - fantastic stuff here, drawing connections between present and past as you do so well. "after i had journeyed so long, i sat./pondered the one universe as several;" -- I've done some reading on multiple universes and dimensions, membranes, "bubbles," etc. in the theoretical physics domain of late, and boy does that material ever complicate things. I know there's a deeper personal story here for you, tho, and it shines through. Thanks for the write... |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 03/30/08 at 08:05 AM I love this, Charlie. It seems a bit of departure from your ususal stuff, and I like the tangent you went on here :-)!!!! Glad to see it in the top 10! |
