Downstream windows
Deflect
And detract
A carved impact
Relieved
By a tract
Ripped
Within a visioned
Abstract.

Yellow leach reflections
Rumbling through our dreams
Connect –
And trace a history
Of a past –
In present streams.

Blueish bleached refractions
Shining future themes
Reject –
Their place in history
Through a now –
Of pure extremes.

A window in a vacuum
A silence born from sound
Where a whisp –
Of information
Breaks through,
Its dark foreground.

In the quiet
Explosion
Of the darkest time
Emerges a stranger
To itself
A vision of a filled
Emptiness
Cascading in ellipses
As a symphony of color
An arc thought
At most –
A reflection
Of potential
Of a frightened,
Innermost ghost.

Angles of nature
Mark
The past of tomorrow
Within progenitor whispers
Thier secrets of movement
Their tell –
Banished
And then somehow expelled.

Icy cracked dynamics
Within a wrinkled
Wrecked terrain

Locks on human wonder
Through new horizons
Of insane.

Magnetar models
Detect and define
A flash –
Of raw power
Refined,
By pure time.
