Dualistic Unity: A Poem Read in Three Ways

main text

Sophie Germain

Note from poet:

the poem could be read in three simple ways – across the entire line, or split it up halfway in between.

  1. “a mathematician sailor is a poet unleashed in sails

    counting pebbles on logs drenched on wildflower

    ...

    omnipotence, all so true. for who believes in a poet?”

  2. “a mathematician sailor is

    counting pebbles on logs

    the Dickinson plight

    fathoms unfathomable

    divinity! a peek in god’s

    omnipotence, all so true.”

  3. “a poet unleashed in sails

    drenched on wildflower

    ramsey order thy see

    order, joy! tautological

    bauble, in a poem’s form

    for who believes in a poet?”
