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.

quasiconformal mapping
between a surface
and a space

invokes mathematical objects
that sets new boundaries
through its trace.

The tail of the snake
Shakes
In the cold dust of history
It makes
A signature shine
Stirring, awake
Signaling a fractured
Moment –
That breaks.

A gravitied distance
A magnified flight
A captured re-memory
In the darkness –
Of light.

Waves of debris
Coded by change
Rolls into ripples
Along –
It’s true range.

A complexity in waves
A compilation of signs
An aesthetic reaction
To our moments –
In time.
