Elements of Euclid

What dart of equilateral sides,

pierced my heart from the skies?

And when my heart began to bleed,

Withdrew the earth from my feet?

For what beauty, and what lies

of winter face and leaf-shaped eyes

came creeping in from the night

so soft the heavens heard my sighs?

Or the crimson cheeks of the sun when set,

as she awaits the moon and his silhouette.

For like the moon when she left,

my heart wriggled inside my chest.

What measurement of A to B,

moulded her heart unto me.

Axiomatic. Truth I could not flee.

Love blinded so I could not see.

Really like the interwoven math imagery-- it adds a richness and fullness to the poem from beginning to end. As well I enjoyed the parellels you draw in each stanza. An all around fascinating equation-- love it!
