Mega-Physics
Few are really aware of
Such universes
Existing beyond our own
Even fewer of so many other versions
Of selfhood living
In each of them, let alone
This simple secret:
At the depth of consciousness
Lives a quantum
Or soul as we prefer to call it
A particle, demon and/or angel dancing
The same dance afar, far apart
In an entanglement

Avihs || Vishnu
Mornings || they disperse || beyond || the corn
Fields, || separately. ||Sunday
She || throws
Her partner’s computer || (midnight)
Into the garbage.|| George ||who
In many || a city || upgraded || his software
Upgraded || hers.
They will || stop over || an island
Separately.|| Your son
Hated || all || mushrooms
George mentions – do you recall || yourself?
To a single mind,|| their spirits || evaporate

Making Light of Darkness
in a world always half in darkness
your body may be soaked deep
in a nightmare, rotting
but your heart can roam
like a synchronous satellite
in His space, leaving
the long night far behind
as long as your heart flies fast
and high enough, you will live
forever in light
