Isidore, Anthemius
architects encapsulate
a dream bare, billowing
upon itself
a transverse, square pendentive dome — the best answer to the excessive angles or weak focus.
Holy Wisdom, Holy Word, Sancta Sophia
I was thinking balance,
the scales of justice and what
you do with its presence
in the empire, like empire
you go to Constantinople or the center take in the sea, you remove
the gouge from your soul
which unlocks it to flare
up like the spewing clouds
of a volcano, then around all that build it
the way you feel: one burst after another
billowing through your soul.
