A unified theory
of somethingness, I am a wave.
I move & have mass, I am moved by others,
drawn in / repulsed, by impulse?
the beat, beat, beat of closeness
of togetherness, a magnetic attraction
of she & me.
not exactly opposites, but
equal & reactive: we dip, dive,
bend, but do not break, conservation
of energy: we sleep near, share heat
create a field, electricity when fingers touch
wake in a flash of now, now.
conversion: what’s the matter?
what matter, tiny bits of light & form,
grows within & between us,
cannot be contained with in its orbit,
must escape, the next bundle that must be carried:
around, around, to hold us, unified: one & one & one.

I really like this poem--the mixing of the concepts of physics with the "chemistry" of love and physical attraction. I like the repetition, and I like how accurately you use the terms. very good!
That is almost the poem that you failed to right a year ago.
Beautiful...go to heaven!
