A Mathematics

Mark Fleury

A mathematics
Answer: one and two are word
And breath, that add up

A kid of intellect
To become spirit:
Three and four (child
Thinking he’s adulting

Plus halfway to eight)
Also is preceded by
God’s Daughter; Muse.

Five and six (there
And here) One and one

Of eleven adding up
To two, back to breath.

Spirit / seven, eight my heart -

In one you - nine dreams
Of sleep,

And ten: what time
And space are.

Also the motion
Of departure
From this life.

I don’t mind
That the first part
Of the equation
Is work ‘cause creativity
Is next, which is at the edge
Of doing nothing.
