QUANTUM FROTH
the frenzy
of the invisible
dimly illumined matter
candle-proximal
now here more solid stuff
to bark your shins on
small supervening gods
dancing on tables
the small gods in small council
angels going back and forth
with sheaves of papyrus
momentous business
the great gods in their tombs
the great tombs empty
the ONE SKY GOD
munificent above it all
immortal
invincible
a trillion skies aloof
in coldest space streaked
with radiation signatures
of the long-departed
quantum froth
the frenzy of the invisible
the frenzy

momentous business
the great gods in their tombs
the great tombs empty
the ONE SKY GOD

a trillion skies aloof
in coldest space streaked
with radiation signatures
of the long-departed
