Dispassionate Science

Despite the fact
that my telescope inverts objects,
I've no illusions. Words
like 'close' and 'distant'
pale.

Still,
somewhere within this deep, black
cylinder of reflection
your thoughts appear
as swirls and clusters.
I am illumined
by the glint of your awareness.
You twinkle without direction
and I grow breathless.

Great write.

JL and TD ....... Thank you both for stopping in for a 'look'. I'm such a terrible 'comet' about attendance here. It's always nice to be welcomed back. Bob
