    do not think about this

    footprints

    do not think about this
    it is not here for your pleasure
    not waiting self-less
    for some deathly embrace
    as if it were not already perfect
    and rising starkly, gently behind you
    perusing the pages of your eyes
    passing no judgment

    straighten your back
    and fly into the sunset
    as you were meant to –
    objectless, void, unsundered
    by the sheer presence of its wings
    will you be lifted
    footprints trailing clouds
    into what has always known you

    pulling the threads of your heart
    it makes your fists close hard
    about what you can never grasp
    the light to your shadow
    a silence around your music
    forgeless and forging
    you become its thoughts
    it is no it
    I AM

  • Quantum Sheep

    Concerning how quantum mechanics is being explored artistically:  (Quantum of Culture at Physics World)

    Consider Quantum Sheep, the brainchild of Valerie Laws, a writer who lives in the north of England. In 2002 she spray-painted words onto the fleeces of sheep from a nearby farm. As the flock milled about, the words rearranged and a new “poem” was created every time the sheep came to rest. A spokesperson for Northern Arts, which provided £2000 of funding for the project, said that the result was “an exciting fusion of poetry and quantum physics”. Here is one of the resulting “Haik-Ewes”:

    Clouds graze the sky
    Below, sheep drift gentle
    Over fields, soft mirrors
    Warm white snow

    Talking to the BBC at the time, Laws explained why she felt the project was worth pursuing. “Randomness and uncertainty is at the centre of how the universe is put together, and is quite difficult for us as humans who rely on order,” she said. “So I decided to explore randomness and some of the principles of quantum mechanics, through poetry, using the medium of sheep.”
