Apologies to Mr. Einstein How relative - this poetry… For herein I spend energy, probe space-time and search for words to somehow… fuse pain, fission doubt, conjure faith, anneal hope, billow dreams, sputter prayer, cascade joy, and marrow love. And yet, the total mass of such when crudely strewn across the page is lesser than a pinhead or, perhaps, a mustard seed.

A lonely heart beaten by insensitivity. He longs for someone, anyone, to grasp his hand. For someone to share his collage of memorabilia... To dance with him among his hopes. Alas, his thoughts are broken by the sound of his only companion. A clock that ticks... Moments that pass... Who will share with him his dreams? Diane M. Getzy, Durango La Plata Electric Association consumer-member
