The blink of a sound
From a signal spike knife
Invokes machinations
On the origins –
Of life.

White dwarfs pull
At the edges
Of a shadow, unbound

Revealing its trigger
Its motion
Its light echo, background

Marking its power
Of origin
Waiting, to be found.

Bursting formations
Form dark matter bents
Eject their true nature
Into –
Infalling events.

I watch
For a signal
I search
For a sign
I listen
For that moment
When my soul learns
To shine.

The negative, of night
An inverse, effect
A quantum, correlation
Of a shadow-like, silhouette.

Battle
Through the depths
The essence of survival
And patience
Exploding
With every effort
And every breath,

To win –
And not become,
Nothing.
