numbers

Colors
may
represent
numerical qualities.
34,000 approximations!
Yet an infinite series of signs,
somnambular equations,
resonate as
words, sounds, expectations.

Time is change.
Distance is motion.

Still,
still,
seamlessly lit,

under a huge moon,
there is in a Hanoverian garden
a solitary samara upon the pond.

Sylphic opalescence?
Celestial abundance?
Floral possibilities.
Recumbent calculations.

Portage
Leibniz.

A small Dutch landschap
affirms interior intimacy,
is as clearly expansive
a poetry of humane dimension
as Baroque mathematics.
