Troubled Einstein
A poem by Roger Rojas
Moments became obscured.
searching for equilibrium.
we walked away,
shadows became indefinable.
love became ineffable.
I carry a watch on my left wrist,
but I’m still losing time.
the art of silence
causes mimes to speak.
even at their pinnacle,
I have seen birds land.
impulses become forbidden.
motor skills collapse
as if your cerebellum was damaged.
paralyzed by the sinking depth
of your thoughts.
you kept parts of my speech
as mementos.
you said your heart became frigid
maybe my poems are like a blanket for your worries
we became afraid our past
we lost ourselves in places we feared
even in the presence of others
we still feel invisible
the “funny” thing about pain
is that we both have different tolerances
don’t be blinded by beauty
how do we veil the beauty of a mind
there is no simplicity in time.
even the General Theory of Relativity.
troubled Einstein.
