"While [Einstein's] 'marble' of space-time was clean and elegant, the 'wood' of matter-energy was a horrible jumble of confused, seemingly random forms."
—from Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension by Michio Kaku and Robert O' Keefe.
I am the universe
seamless rolls of marble,
color breathing into color,
darkness and light
like the sun easing sky
into sea at the day's end.
I am the universe,
the beginning and the end, yet
staring into this sun, your eyes
I feel not
like marble: glowing,
hard, resplendent
but dry, like wood.
Crackling with fire.
Consumed.
