Faster than the ‘flick-of-eye’,
Time goes by,
Except, when it doesn’t.

You know,
We’re human-life, genoming.
Why don’t we apply
Sense to past emotions,
Fears, wars, suspicions
And carnal knowledge,
To dare to be free?

Slower than the ‘life-at-hand’,
Time goes by,
Especially, when it does.

We know
We are human human-genomes,
Possibly recovered.
Why can’t we apply
Science to past, emotionally?
I fear my own suspicions,
And carnal knowledge,
Isn’t free.

Many writers present story, article and essay, ~ and in the case of poets, poems with scientific subjects without leaving a clue to guide the reader to enter the heart of the subject dealt, which makes it difficult for the reader to digest what is read on the first and second readings.

Whenever she posts a poem with unfamiliar subjects, Poet Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen ~ always guides the reader in a full tour in the realms of the theme. She does that without a need for an introduction or bottom note, because she develops the theme ~ giving verse and reverse of every word that strikes curiosity; ~ as she does in every stanza matching imagery and meaning.

I have enjoyed the reading of this magnificent poem, "Quickland". This poem has paid its poetic dues to the treasure of Poetry.

I salute You, Poet.

In respect and admiration,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

I guess you might say there is a price to be paid for what we know.
