Molecule


by Ivan Reyes


Mighty as you are, 
Your faith remains unseen to us. 

It remains hidden, 
In some recess, 
Where you'd like it, forever, however, 
You've seen more than I, however, 
Death, 
As the night is comforting as well as strange, 
Includes you 
Silently 

I am delighted by the measure 
Of your design 
Notably, I learned it in the 4th grade, 
And never forgot it 
But never cherished it 

Except when 
The tv's glow 
Spun your name in the sky 
In the classroom 

Without you I'd have 
Surely 
Sensed that something was amiss 
In my world 
Like the absence of a screw
