Science is the thing I don’t get.

I have learned how a rainbow

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

is formed,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

the colors we think we see

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

in the sky above us,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

creating an arc over the land.

What I do get, however,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

is how I feel when I see one,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

when the rain passes on

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

and there is magic

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

hovering over us for a moment.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

That’s all I know,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

that I am a human being,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

unable to grasp how science

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

and magic and the Universe

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

conspire to give us this

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

sign of hope and peace,

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

this symbol of love that

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

will always be there for us

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

exactly when we need it.

ROYGBIV

Representative

Of all

You, me, her, him, them

God's promise

Beyond our ingrained preconceptions

Inclusive of everyone

Vowing to press on until all humankind experiences equality.

Dear Rainbow,

You’re the liminal arc

bending, stretching through my life

a multitude of colors

full spectrum manifest

Our ancestors named you Bifröst

a bridge between two realms

mortal Midgard and celestial Asgard

connecting human and divine

We chose you as the coda

our wedding recessional

arms tightly woven together, beaming

singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”

fully illusion and fully real

an alchemized ellipsis

punctuating the circle of life
