physics says
work transfers energy
from one place to another
power is the amount of work
done over time
while my bones know
too much energy
gets transferred to work
and power flows upward
away from me
across some distance
accelerating
due to forces
felt but unseen
and all the tangible
relativistic masses
collapse into
singularities
no longer able
to do work
until the Hawking
radiation
leaches
away
their
power
Precession of Equinoxes
the sun in its great circle
runs rings around the sky
in a 360 we inherited from Babylon
Aries♈ Taurus♉ Gemini♊
once held the sun in spring
though the sky is no clock
and the earth wobbles
as skies change in seasons
too long for us to know
Cancer♋ Leo♌ Virgo♍
drift away past the summer
while distant futures
will have forgotten
all our mountains and seas
“boundless and bare”
Libra♎ Scorpio♏ Sagittarius♐
scatter like leaves in autumn
yet other eyes tell other tales
of creatures out of myth
to fill their sky with stories
while our own
Capricorn♑ Aquarius♒ Pisces♓
blow away like ashes in winter
