Cosmic Rainbow

black void before the light
molten red around iron core
orange-in [origin!] of creation
bursting forth in yellow light
green growing, winding, swirling
toward the opening blue sky
into the vast, infinite indigo of space
decorated with white stars that expand ever outward
into the no-thing-ness of the black velvet void


This is my neighbor and sister, Doris Kennedy, who paints the intuitive reality
of quantum physics and the space between the space between the space.
