Color By Numbers

The answer remains

the same

endless formulas

adding to

nothing? everything? ninety-five or forty-two?

decimal, fraction, radical

equate love for me

parts of wholes

fractured, some

scattered

some taped together again

lovingly, clumsily

blushes and smiles

soft touches, one plus one

you is to me

as

universe is to endless stretching

eternity

we are a ratio

in proportion, balanced

yin yang

laughing by crying

rage by joy

carefully walking that

line of life

whose slope is

undefined

and numbers symbols

whirling around

structured confines

what have they

to do

with us (you plus me

times time all over

uncertainty of the unknown

and squared

by love)
