Conflict Resolution in 1964 by ~Magenta512:iconMagenta512:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Sociopolitical > Open


In some other space,
seconds are splitting like nuclear atoms—
matter reduced
  to fission and ordered chaos
invariable planes colliding, sweet as purple
       pop rocks stinging the roofs of ten hundred hungry children’s
mouths.  Time is break-
                                   ing, scattering like cat’s eye marbles
   (shooters castrated or dead), each round and lucid
as forgiveness, forgetting
who said     what    and where, no matter—
a circle drawn in sand, nothing left
to war against.

A poem about a fight with my sig other. And maybe some other deep thinking stuff too. You decide.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for reading my work, for the love and comments, and the DA for the Daily Deviation mention!

It's too early in the morning for me to be giving a proper comment, but I want you to know how much I like this poem. Great imagery, and it's wonderful how you're showing us the story, not telling us, as many writers are tempted to do.

Lt. Maria Laguerta: So then he must have already had the head with him in the front seat. Huh, that's weird. Why would he keep it there?
Dexter Morgan: I don't know. So he could use a carpool lane.

Only three comments and three favorites on such a fantastic piece? That's insane. I love this piece, and probably my favorite part of it all is that you didn't come right out in the poem and state what it's about.

Congrats on the Daily Deviation! :+fav:

It's short, but the form and imagery is strangely appealing. Me likey.
