Poetry - 2006

a reading for Lana Vshivkoff by Lloyd Godman

Trajectory Gazing

only in light speed manifests
the rush of photons greets us with an axis
our own momentum
the drag of inertia over come
drawn along in the vacuum
the acceleration of life
there forces act - we lose control
points become streaks –
tangibility blurs
colour loses edge - vibrates beyond its boundary
melts with the other
luminosity reflects our speed of living
under the eye of light
the trajectory has no silence
