a solitary thought by Stella Radulescu

May 19, 2017 by Every Writer

Sura by Ayham Jabr

a solitary thought

One can go around the world and not fall off.

—Stephen Hawking

a solitary thought erupts into
the dusty town o, be a butterfly—said
the child with one big eye
any many days to count—
the picture of the sky
ephemeral
like time
a single history or many more
like fluctuations
of light o, be the ocean steaming
cleaning up the dust
like hope
that bubble ready to explode
