Surface Soil Poems | Examples


Premium MemberQuantum Physics

Why write about love
when I can write about quantum physics,
its mathematics as indecipherable 
as God.

QP is the chaos undergirding reality 
and tells me things I see are not solid;
the stratum of surface soil holding roots 
of grass isn't really there.

It's nothing bizarre or otherworldly,
and reveals how everything  is connected
to everything else through higher dimensions
we can't comprehend. 

Even the mutiverses are caught dancing
in the entanglement of strings with us,
going around and about in theory,
it makes me quite dizzy.

Revelation is like removing a veil
so things invisible can clearly be seen,
not with sight but with mind ~
I think therefore I am!

A Day In the Heat

Here in the tropics,  fans provide a built-in breeze,
their wind so gentle, laps one’s knees, and butterflies, 
gentian blue, fly to sip the morning’s dew

Palm fronds large, and bamboo plants, fight to
scoop unwary ants; and deep below the surface soil
millipedes in moisture coil

Farmers small with tanned, taught-skin, fight to
curb their cows’s chagrin, bouncing udders,
mud-caked hooves, moos that sound the fight begin!

A laughing sun it rains hard down, heat to bake the 
foreigners’ frown, while locals hide beneath the shade,
dogs yet not eaten, pant in glade

Traders ask you,” where you from?” repeated mantra 
lingers on, and if you think they are your friend, you'll
warm their hearts, when you spend

But’s not for me to predicate, that sumptious missal’s
far too late; I rest and dream in fan’s cool breeze,
while lover’s hand, I gently squeeze.
