My Voice

Lyre

My voice is lyrical quirky
Leaning toward physics
Yet mystic : the cubing
Of the spherical, a choice
For meaning of the real,
A parenthetical gut feeling,
Intuition ; fishing for answers
Thwarting marchers for dancers,
The prancers that must
Muss the chalk–lines, the
Semi–permeable, perforated
Square lines, the un–solid
Earth riddled with fault lines—
The boiling magma under
The plates that jostle like
A second thought jigsaw
Idea, subverting Pangaea
Into a puzzle discontinuous,
But all of these continents
Uneasy in oceans under the
Changeable weather attack
Wondrous, yet sporadically
Frightening in its reliance on
Chance : the safety promised
From science, an approximation
Of the humming muse strumming
The lyre outside the coziness
Of this dark box, where I doze,
The lid closed : the connecting
Dots of my Cartesian cube,
The drumming music stops,
A door to other worlds opens
For a brief moment before
The relief of the crank turning
The music box gears that clank
Again, I hear the familiar score .
