Rumi & the New ‘White Flag’ Physics by Stefanie Bennett

Rumi & the New ‘White Flag’ Physics

by Stefanie Bennett

“You can’t take the Kublai
Out of the Khan”
He said –
Slamming the notebook
Shut.

A sigh righted itself from
The doppler effect
To slide
Into the underlined sonic
Boom of the times…

Yes! And a tsunami of fly-buy
Eyelashes
Re-textured
The redwood’s
Torso

Of wild manna where
Ontology
Had fanatically
Ditched
The fallen.
