These poems are from a series inspired by reading Atlas Obscura stories while listening to a music genre randomly selected from my list. The poems were written immediately after reading, still while listening to the randomly chosen music. I frequently post these to Medium. Please share, click the clapping hands below, or support my work if you enjoy these.
The Microphotographic Wonders of Vermont’s ‘Snowflake Man’
(article here: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wilson-bentley-snowflake-photographs)
Math rock (music that’s not in 4/4 time)
you and me catch crystalline
catching colds
catching snowflakes
symmetries in our bones
the best time in Jericho
is always under 20 degrees
when we are seeing what could be falling
and from how high
love there is a depth to the above
prisms and needles, stars
in that way the smallest things
take our breath away
holding to five thousand
infinities of beauty
as you drive
nothing’s alive
just the ice
this moment is unlike
anything
