She is the First Great Experiment
She is the first great experiment
of the universe,
and of my life:
to release the only one
so that she may become the many.
No longer one thing, she becomes
everything.
And thus I may wander everywhere
in my being
through an emptiness of space
in the alwaysness
of her.
Once I was fortune's favorite
on hand for hours of discovery.
Now I am crowned
with perfection.
Once there with her, now
here with her
releasing myself
into the infinity
of love.
Christopher M. Swan, "Song of Susan," 2008
