Gravity Waves

Tricia Knoll

warping space time we thought

was all science fiction

when Einstein said a hundred times

or was it a hundred years ago

the black holes dance together,

losing mass as energy

warps as beam.

So infinitesimally small

and so infinitesimally big

the words we struggle

to lay out on a warp

and declination

we can understand.

Quakes in the spacetime,

the scientist said I made one

lurching out of bed

for the shower

five minutes after

the alarm clock rang.

I thought so

gravitationswellen.

Swelling time

to just make enough.

Poet’s Notes:  I read a daily science news blog. The discovery of gravity waves that Einstein predicted so long ago, well, that amazed me. I think I feel them moving through me.
