The Point of Measurement

Lynne Sargent

If the mathematicians have carved marble

for the sake of talking to angels,

why might not the physicists

seek out fey?


After all, it seems like half

the point of measurement is to find:


the leaks, where magic came from

why love is so heavy,

how the stars blazed paths


and the method by which we might follow them.
