The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 7/18/09

"Models of the Universe"

     1.
At the momen X
the universe began.
It began at point X.
Since then,
through the Hole in a Nozzle,
stars have spewed.  An
inexhaustible gush
populates the void forever.

     2.
The universe was there
before time ran.
A grain
slipped in the glass:
the past began.
The Container
of the Stars expands;
the sand
of matter multiplies forever.

     3.
From a zero radius
to a certain span,
the universe, a Large Lung
specked with stars,
inhales time
until, turgid, it can
hold no more,
and collapses.  Then
space breathes, and inhales again,
and breathes again:  Forever.

~May Swenson

2. Oh, honey. Thank you so much!

I debated whether or not to post it because I didn't know if anyone would like it. Actually posting it was a last minute decision.
