The Imaginary Partition of Space

The imaginary partition of space

By shadowed walls and archways,

The delineation of angles

Fleshed, obscured by gradations of gray,

The differentiation of textures and shades

Pixilated, expressed in potentials,

The irreality of perspective represented

In codes of interrelated chemicals;

Just as the numerable instructions

Determining the plane of a cheek,

The enmeshed curves of a limb,

Perhaps the possible grace of a gesture:

These right-angled evocations of ideals

Illuminated by approximations

Of arrays of point sources,

Interfering and diffracting,

Interacting in uninterpretable complexities.
