The darkness, of white
Tops sheathed, in black bright
Streak –
Through the shadows, to break free
And take flight.

I am energies
For the void, not yet formed
Through degenerate emission

We have built a jewel
A monument of color
Facing a blackness, forever tomb

So I call these filaments
A mark of remembrance
Where the unfaithful,

Watch the redHa shine
Broken – into newborn life
In the memory, of death.

A single point of motion
From a helium fusion shield
Is the answer, in a question
From its complex –
Radiant field.

Mythical mysteries
Of confounding,
Dark scales

Strikes through
Its long history
Through compounding, contrails.

Vapors of dioxide
Released through splice
Reveal –
Their residual
In resplendent, dark ice.

Flashes of color
Unplan –
To create

Rebranding their construct
To withstand –
Their new state.
