Integration


I hold you in my palms

two objects in my left,
one in the right.

i

Harsh, sharp, hot
held in the left
you glower
mandarin orange
jagged, searing, heavy
you are dominant
- change

ii

Second object flat
also in the left
you are a blue-violet plane
golf ball rubber band texture
small, flubbery, cool
inconsequential
- movement

iii

after inconsequential acquiesces
to dominance
you come together
your currency of exchange
an alteration of shape, dimension,
temperature, weight, colour
Dominance also cedes
texture and temperature
but takes a higher position
- negotiation

iv

I hold two objects in my
left hand
same size – round
one orange
one green
one up, one down
- moving forward

v

Circular, orange/green
burnished metal
A peace symbol
held in my right
ambient temperature
weight – one pound
- the right path

vi

My palms are open
facing the sky
rotating them they come
together,
three objects
merge
- union

vii

Two arcs of magenta
bisected by
a thick cobalt blue line
come to rest
alongside my heart
warmth radiates
A third eye appears
- knowing

That holiday must have done you some good! You seem to have stepped up a whole level.
An alchemists delight.
-Obsessive compulsory viewing.

A magic trick
or treat.
Felt by the third eye.

Thank you Glenn, I really enjoyed writing this!

I enjoyed this as well.
The subtext in your lay science observations, and your skillful juggling--of round objects and 26 letters.
This almost read like a riddle to me as well. Don't know if that was your intent.

Very well done and it nicely compliments/complements your answer to string theory
