When
Copernicus suggested the earth
revolved around the sun
he disturbed the soil
at
the base of the tree of understanding,
nudged the roots interwoven
with the doctrines of the
church.
Kepler enlarged this heliocentric garden
while Galileo honed his tools,
sharpened the ax
that
ground against the darkness
church fathers thought
to be light.
