Eight-line Poems

Continuum

Continuum

Time and the universe,
bound forever in the dance of spheres,
circles within circles, gears within years,
stars alight with the glow of polished metal,
space studded with jewels like petals
embedded in movement, counting the moments,
quick quick slow, tick tick flow,
infinity’s clock and all its components.
