Infinity 5 – Another dollop

 Opher’s new poetry anthology out now!

This is another dollop of forever from my first book Reality Dreams from 1971.

I was very interested in infinity.

Infinity 5 – Another dollop.

I am the colour of the wind

I am the sound of darkness

I am the strength of elastic

I am the smell of moonshine

Who but I float effortlessly in time?

 

I have been the Oak and Wolf

I have been Arthur and the Snake

I have been the Moon and Sea

I have been of wood and stone and metal

Moved by fire wind and rain

 

I am the alchemist’s bane

I am sometimes this

And sometimes that

I am the gold in all metals

Could change affect me?

 

I am ceaseless change

That alters none

I am premordial soup

I am the newt’s eye and hellibore

I am the crane’s bag

My letters do not spell

It’s nice to visit with me for a while. I remember!
