FWGE: Day 8: Poe-matics by Adebayo Kolawole Samuel
for Bluestone
I am an equation—
Calculus of whirlings,
thrummings & palpitations.
I am a matrix—
Gang of numbers lost
in the depths of squares.
I am that sum
waiting for solutions
cascading upon paper
as inky river.
And you have walked
Into the classroom of my body
Slowly; silently; stealthily.
You take out a pen
and solve me.
Out of the depths of squares,
You find me.
O bright beauty,
With you,
I am an equation solved;
dissolved into an answer:
dheart-dlove
explained!
