Epigrams on Gravity

by Brett Rutherford

1
Gravity unkind to flesh,
the reason old folks
go not about
without their clothing,
what's up's
antithesis

2
Gravity,
the suicide's best friend
at cliff-edge, bridge
railing and tower-top
3

Avenging force,
weaver of sink-holes
that swallow the wicked,
lord of the nine-day fall
from here to hell

4
Gravity, the first
of the race of Titans,
the resultant between
creation's messy chaos
and the collapse to null

5
Gravity felt everywhere
and instantly, speed
of light no barrier,
transcendent yet not
a thing in itself --

no I and Thou
concerning Gravity --
not even a force
so-called, it is
the price of being.
