Origin
“The most telling and profound way of describing the evolution of the universe would undoubtedly be to trace the evolution of love.”
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Leave me now, left brain.
Be silent, Plato
And you, Socrates —
I have no need of you.
Logic, reason, philosophy
Everything learned from university
All the way back through Driver’s Ed
High school, middle school,
Elementary, my dear Watson.
Even you, kindergarten, with your
Square pegs, round holes and one, two, three:
You were the worst of them all.
It is the Pleiades I am looking for
With Bacchus at their breasts
Laughing at Orion in helpless pursuit.
It is Venus with her hair let down
Stepping from the lake, her womanhood
Flaring unabashed in gorgeous post-orgasmic hues.
It is the Valkyries claiming their dead from the field
And rushing them homeward;
It is Freya, goddess of the Viking halls
