Afterlives

Poetry of Life
Written By Rose Knapp

Artist statement: The inspiration for these poems comes from the nature of time and the inner workings of the natural world, from the subatomic to the cosmological.

Afterlives

Rushing urgently and suspense fully
Through infinities of belief systems 

Some leading to paradise or being reborn 
Some to purgatorio, some to other worlds 

Time

What is time? Milliseconds through minutes through
Millennia, haiku of brevity to 
Baroque Homeric epic, can time even truly be collected?
