Poem 9 To think a flower is to see it and smell it and to eat a fruit is to know its meaning. That’s why on a warm day I feel sad because I enjoy it so much, and stretching out on the grass, and closing my hot eyes, I feel my whole body lying stretched out on reality, I know the truth and I am happy.

Naufrage dans le miroir. Chaque jour nous sombrons un peu plus dans son eau lisse. Jusqu'à ce qu'un certain jour l'excès du naufrage brise du dedans le miroir. Roberto Juarroz

Dark Matter

by Alex Dimitrov

The living looking for eternity don’t know eternity is brief. A favorite thing about being alive or other questions no one asks me, and it would be knowing people. Knowledge through time. What’s the name of that hour in the day where no matter our planned futures everything is full of nothing as the world is full of people without reason other than small chance. You are tired and most singular in the middle of the afternoon when seeing you on the street (and not in a bedroom) reminds me you’re real; allowing me to begin the rest of this poem. Because life isn’t enough which is unbelievable to the fog, sea, or anything lucky to be without our incurable consciousness. Vanishing. A once orange leaf that’s been left in a book. The silver handles of the casket as it’s lowered into the earth. People’s mistakes. Dark matter. The sky just before evening. One boat in the Atlantic. A handful of balloons going all the way up. The few places in the world where it’s raining as you read this. As I write this. As I read this out loud and somewhere what is expected does not return. The last lamp in an old house. How I’m not sure if I’d like to end on an image of someone turning it off, turning it on. Silences. Between the waves and beneath them. People’s mistakes. People’s mistakes.

Everything you’ve learned in school as “obvious” becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There’s not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
