If The Universe Be Curved Not Flat
Please remember the apple rain
the speedfilled dawn at falling dream
the scent the image left behind
leave the red signs in the junkyard
leave it to the mothers of China
leaving their Masters behind
include the moving clouds
including as many objects as they can
include the underside of this house
if the universe be curved not flat
against time or set or box of matches
if anything should exceed its direction
jigsaw pieces see all things flash
the sound an old barn door makes
listen to almost the taste of apples
the photo down (as in a book)
the photo up (as on the wall)
the photo round (as on a planet)

This poem was largely inspired by the Eric Leleu photographs entitled "Subtitles". Should you have a taste for such things, for a very different reverberation, please check them out at http://www.ericleleu.com.
