The Power of Measurement

A poem

By Andres DehnhardtPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

At the right distance, a tiny cloud can block the sun.

At the right distance, the sun can become a light jewel for the young beloved,

or a celestial boat,

a river of gold or molten bronze.

At the right distance, the sun can kill,

or be little more than a metaphor of powerless words over life

and death.
