The Lightness of Frailty
POETRY FORMAT, 21 Nov 2016
Emanuel E. Garcia – TRANSCEND Media Service
Looking up, nothing
Like anything from here,
The constellations were unnamed,
The very curve of the heavens
Had no signature below,
Spaces led, irregular, to points,
To sheets of dark, oblivious
Why had I spent myself
Spinning my voice
Over your pale breasts,
Shielding your eyes and mine
How clear it has become
With so much wandering:
The lightness of frailty,
How divine

Jeez!
From constellations to pale breasts!
Frailty and profundity!
Light!
