You saw her once <br />In colorless kimonos <br />And again <br />In agricultural greens <br />But did you really ever understand her? <br /> <br />Sauntering <br />Into that tiny crevice <br />Prismatic <br />Rainbows once <br />Glowed pristinely in the horizon <br /> <br />All <br />Perceived colors <br />Red, yellow, orange <br />Violet, blue, and green <br />Arc-ed ethereally <br /> <br />A spectrum <br />Where long waves <br />To the right <br />Serenade and sooth <br />Harried souls <br /> <br />To left <br />Rapidly cast <br />Short waves <br />Marking forces <br />Of ancient darkness <br /> <br />In time and space <br />She walks <br />Her shadows <br />Exist concretely in history <br />Chameleons’ very energy <br /> <br />You saw her once <br />In colorless kimonos <br />And again <br />In agricultural greens <br />But did you really ever understand her? <br /> <br /> (Contextual Electromagnetic Waves <br />in Contemplation, Tennessee, April 12,2007)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-meltdown/
