Andrew Morrison Poems

Barely perceptible to the naked, non-localized eye
Specks of dust they,
Some bigger, some smaller,
Specks of dust nonetheless,
...

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. Psalms 8: 4-8.

Man!
That I am.

The Magnification Of Specks Of Dust Upon An Aquamarine Spread (A Poem For Caricom)

Barely perceptible to the naked, non-localized eye
Specks of dust they,
Some bigger, some smaller,
Specks of dust nonetheless,
Sprinkled upon an aquamarine spread.

Ah! To think that these could be concretized
A masterpiece flagged
And not a mere abstracted spread.
If only they were to be It
Magnified as flag,
And not as flagella
Tottering and wavering upon an aquamarine spread,
Tossed about by the cold, alien westerlies.
Each nebula particle jostles to glint,
If only they would coalesce and be nova
Then each particle would be magnified in It.

Specks of dust upon an aquamarine spread
Will remain specks of dust upon an aquamarine spread,
Till they be magnified as speckled flag
And fly as It.
