Irrational Numbers

Irrational Numbers
David J Walker

There is nothing so opaque 
as the past

one day or one million cast 
into a single ambiguous folder 

	    	older than the
order of the Universe
smaller than the molecule 

you cannot see but
you seem to remember
on some primal level

within its remains 
the arcane names 
                 spelt 
in irrational numbers
