Is love like curved spacetime in this poem?

[marmot]

"curved spacetime" [poem]

every time i try to reach out for her cream-face,
space and time -
that dead tree,
the soldier without limbs,
the clock, the bell, and the light cone--
curve below my feet,
making me sink--
making me drown.

and just the moment before i disappear,
i see her eyes,
like dust,
drift away -
forever.

Very nice, Marmot. Are you seeking feedback on your poetry? Otherwise this seems more appropriate content for your blog than a GD post.

just feedback. i don't know i feel its good for sharing here because you folks get the references. and general relativity is the most beauitful physical theory ever created.

Pretty nice. I also recommend listening to R.E.M.'s "Feeling Gravity's Pull", which has some GR and Mach's principle references.
