FORESHORTENING AND "THEE" GODDESS

this is THEE Goddess speaking and I just want to say

"Don't do me wrong, though this is impossible;

don't call me too long: have patience

feel your own grace.

I'm challenging you to put two

and more together.

When you call me, you call your future self

(though time is not here with me nor sex)

Remember, I am only a goddess in the symbolism

of the sense.

I might become a simple polyhedron

a subatomic spark

a mesh of darting threads

in search of ever more intricate bending

In each particle of myself I am complete

(this goes without saying)

I take immeasurable forms some turning to this world,

some to that.

As you are creating me I respond

to your subtlest thoughts.

As passionate lovers your images of me rush together without fail.

As gravity binds your flesh to the earth

so I am the binder and the bound,

an electromagnetic spool on which are wound

all your goddess schemes.

You people my dreams

Do give me all those qualities you share

as well as those you yearn for.

As I grow in value, I yearn to know you

and you, me.

Then turn your ears inside out to hear my voice.

Look for me with your soft eyes.

Feel me with your essential tissue.

Build bridges.

I will meet you half way."
