Angelo Giambra

“Numberless are the world's wonders” - Sophocles

I looped my finger around zero,

pulled it down

and saw it was the moon.

I drew a one

upon the sky

and saw it was a shooting star.

I watched two

dangle like a cloud

from three, saw how five

was sitting in four's

chair, found six and seven

in the bedroom

doing things I

cannot say. At eight I

stopped, those perfect loops

entwined around each other,

and galaxies of nines,

flaming from their center.
