BRONTEAN MECHANICS


    Pour Ma Jolie Copine.


It’s said a collision
between membranes in a multiverse
          gave birth
amid orgasmic destruction
to all that we can know.


How often did those
universes pass unseen —
a vague unknown
feeling in the nothing before
contact?


Can love be a matter
merely of timing?
Had Heathcliff and Cathy
met in their thirties
could they have saved
everybody the bother?


Could Cathy have lived?


Heathcliff would always have been
lost.


Had his love been
stronger than pride
might he have given her more
than a mansion of memory and
          dust?


Universes loom
from dark matter between realms.
Outside time a flash
could be a moment or eternity;
a new world
beautiful, complete,
known only to its inhabitants
exists for an instant
          forever
blinked out of being
by the sad, cruel logic of reality.


Love exists without time.
Time engenders destruction.


Perfect love destroys perfectly.
