Two Pieces
Louis Faber
SCHWARZCHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSE
In the space
of a moment
a universe
can be engulfed
light pours forth
from a black hole
suns rise
over the event horizon
space curves in
on itself
until it is yesterday
Schrodinger’s cat
feasts on Albert’s twins
the dice
are just
out of reach.
QUANTUM
The universe is both
enormously vast
measurable only in metaphor
and so infinitesimally small,
an idea
that would fit
in the corner
of a grain of sand.
As you walk the beach
grasp universes
between your toes
and kick them
into the tide
of the cosmos.
