Lost WhOle

by Roberto Lavidez

endowed with a

significant purpose

tantalizing fragments

of a lost whole

seek refuge

from some

impending disaster

they emerge with

extreme suddenness

imagining the

unproven possibilities

of a series of

beguiling coincidences

demonstrating a

striking convergence

with the undercurrent

of ancient connections

woven from the

very fabric of faith

between earth and

the stratosphere

little more than

wishful thinking

are the manifold

glimpses of

high science

which develop an

intangible logic

constituting a

retrospective illusion

reduced to stargazing

the unlimited utopia

the propaganda

of triumph of

unscalable mountains

setting up shop

for eternity

straight all the way

to vanishing point
