Poetry: Echosightings Vol III, ZERO

Confused Augustus and
Nero
They didn't know
The Way only
Galileo knew to
Look to
The East
For the
Nothing that is all
And had long been
The African's
domain
From Zimbabwe up
to the Nile Delta
In Europe
Cave-dwellers heltah-skeltah
Their minds can't grasp
Infinity
The roundness of
Divinity
The number of
Kings
The prime factor
Generator
of all
things
Idolized
Yet needing no
Worship
Seeking
no approval
An inner energy
Brought to the fore
But who can truly
Fathom the ancient
Lore
The knowledge of
the integral number
Lifted
From a long
Little  disturbed
Slumber
