Correlations
58
"Reason only knows what it has succeeded in learning..."
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Notes From the Underground
Correlation upon correlation,
strong correlation's that hold up
the glass pillars of natures
Rome.
The points all scatter
in a positive manner towards
the center of Po flowing
the riches of broken
pigeon wings through Milan,
as if heaven began
on the Apennines.
When reason returns
and sees that another rape
has occurred more devastating
than in the beginning,
a correlation is made,
when one lonely bird is
gently lifted from blackening
traffic consuming the Coliseum,
and set on a colorless
corner of a gas station
to await its fate other than
that of the wheel.

Jamie- You are quite a poet. Incredible images and great use of words. I have never been to Rome, but in my mind's eye I see the Coliseum and the reference to the Po River and the Apennines (I am a historian) was terrific. I will be SHARING this with others.
This makes me sad an d happy at the same time--you manipulate emotions masterfully in this piece--Sharing--
Wonderfully written. A great poem but it reminds me about the darkside. Thanks for sharing.
