Phases of Venus

[tectak]

I have swung with Galileo, selling new world
views to lonely sorrowers in the spotlight
of suns

The conversions are isochronous; from speculation h
to contempt with the pull of a string
as minds are drawn back

It’s easier to tuck heresies between my legs
one hundred at a time
than to tumble these crumbling towers

Regardless of weight, worth or birth
all things will fall

There are more good parts to this piece than is appreciated in the whole.This is not a new observation but a superficial reading is encouraged by the brevity, if not economy, of the format. There is a problem for me, though.This is weighty piece in non-Newtonian terms, which begs for precision of language and intent.I am forced to say that I felt that the clarity of message, obvious no doubt to the writer,is not transmitted homogeneously to the reader. Maybe I am becoming lazy but whilst I can tolerate the esoteric in romantic writing I feel averse to effort when reading poetry which seems to want to make a clear point but hides behind language. Please note that this is probably a failure to connect and so is my problem rather than yours.
To specifics.
Stanza 1 is a fine opening gambit. I stepped over rather than on it. This is probably your intent. Sorry if wrong but sorry if right,too
Stanza 2 is where my foot fell.Isochronicity in the pendulum swing rather than the lap timer I assume.....but it is not clear and we are talking physics here. Help needed.
Stanza3 OK. What? It sounds so good but what are we to make of this. Camels and eyes of needles I understood because it CLARIFIED by allegorical example. I am avoiding the picture of heresies between legs as that is more puzzling than what it attempts to clarify. A hundred you reckon . Wow.
Stanza 4 is a let down. This is an opinion based upon nothing except emotion. Never a good yardstick. I wanted more. I got less.
Overal I think this is a skeletal piece which needs flesh.........but fattening it up would be worth it.
Best,
Tectak
