One in the Numberless Series of Requiems

This phrase is very strong:

the languaged bubble of our brief emergence

*

Thank you, Steve.

Steven mentioned my favorite line. I like how the metaphor is extended through the poem, how the bubble exists after the first line. Good stuff.*

I love from the dust of broken suns. We make a gift of sorrow. Beautiful. Fave*

Thank you, John, and thank you, Gloria.

Yes.
"We perform our chosen duty— naming
beauties and atrocities within
the languaged bubble of our brief emergence"

Strong piece, Gary. Wonderful closing. *

Thank you, Sam.

Great poetry, figurative language, insightful vision: although I disagree with the conclusion. *

So many great lines. The beginning:

"The burst continues, spreading
properties and possibilities,"

sets up infinite possibility. I love this poem. It's optimistic and profound,and it makes me appreciate the beauty of holding only temporary space.

Thank you, Jen.

"the languaged bubble of our brief emergence/" It's all we've got.*

Lovely evocative poem on the human condition. fav.
