The Microscope on the Table

#1 Post by DonSchaeffer » Thu Feb 09, 2023 4:29 pm

It's all about scale.
As close as we can push our eyes
is far away, adventure touching our cheek.
I open my eyes lost in the morning.
Just beyond startle, just
this side of fright. I nestle
in certainty, curled and safe
just inside the glass wall.
I so nearly touch them,
rescued only by chance.
They are permanent, with
devices that enable them to wait.
The comfort of the earth
melts in the indifference beyond.
