a fractal poem

by charles coon

recent recognition of

surprising butterfly

power

wings with influence

both near and far..

science’s magic

a poem might share

finds joy and strength

a freedom flight…

a poem as bone

a spinal light

iterates downward

then loops back..

one..

one word trembles with

joy/suffering..
finds its home

on the spine alone..

a punctuation  /

introduced above

our fraction slash

a new poetic linkage

a vision evolves

separates/joins

our fractured world..

a special invitation this /

new awareness

finds dimensional paths…

poem’s spinal light

expands

vibrates
curves and colors

on many scales..

simplicity/chaos

butterfly/wings
two names with slash

an eternal dance..

poem’s garment

weaves
light/chaos/suffering..

she must stand right here /

absorb this darkness

become this pain..

locates at last

the waiting bone

spinal light connects

once more and

once more…

our butterfly/wings

even now returns

freedom flight arrives

a prayer
