Foucault's Pendulum (2015 APR PAD - Day 17)

Foucault's pendulum

“Nothing

in the universe

is at rest.”

The heart vacillates.

Placid with all it has,

aching for what it lacks,

it bleeds in black and white –

a pendulum passing

between dark and light,

but nowise winding down;

while gray

matter(s) to the mind,

which spins, (seeing

what was, is, may yet be),

circles a whirlwind vortex,

imagining a center eye,

a placid balance

between all three.
