Every Poem An Invention

Every poem
An invention
Some would say:
When a romantic
Creates a breathing rose
In the mind
For the heart of another
A far superior find
Than all
Man’s Relativities—

So—
Let Einstein rest
Of his atoms
Undressed;
And Galileo
Further divest
In some far
Distant sky,
Too far off
Even
For modern
Glass-eye
Perhaps now,
As I,
Would also decry:
That the artist, alone,
Sees and lives,
A true icon,
Beyond the grave—
A slave not to science,
But to love and beauty;
With far more inquisitive duty,
That of revealing
The Universe
The soul of it
Divine—

If poems are inventions, then you my friend are the inventor extraordinaire, You might want to patent this imaginative invention.

This is utterly striking Joe, love the mention of Einstein and Galileo, you've unveiled a universe of poetic 'breaking bread' a divinity none of them could ever touch. 7+ Fav.
