Between Spinning Nothing by Prospero2013

Because he can’t sleep
he rides the light rail.

He sits looking out the dark windows
feeling the force of motion,
understanding
dark matter
dark energy
there is a feeling
he has momentarily stepped
out of time.

Right away he hears the voice.
like something from days gone by.
Emotion swells in his chest.
her presence here

what they are
what they are not

pick a
name

a corkscrew motion
of the neutron spin axis
produced a stack
it splashed all over the world

now
they are alone.
