Eight And A Half Seconds Poem by L.B. Temuco

In the gloom
molecules separate
throwing shadows against
the faces of strangers
In the space between
A dark deep resonance
the race of a great crashing river
the echo of God
the noise of the Craziest Diamond
the sound of a Great Heart opening
What humoured the sky to carve
your wings into the height of it
blue and bleeding
The Cherokee maiden
with darkness in her hair
and history in her eyes
smiles
without knowing.
