Math and poetry and imagery from Christopher Roe.
Parabola
By Christopher Roe
In the final days
of my seventieth year
the full moon
tugs the water
in my brain
and I think of
the arc of my life
descending
like a rainbow
into the sea
parabolically.
Christopher,
Love the use of “parabolically” both as math and allegorical symbols. A striking image that I (in my sixty-eighth year) will long remember.
