Icy white fractures
Of pure moments, complete
Reveals a world captured
When we deny, to retreat.

A subtle stark stature
Of a triumph, replete
With a vision manufactured
By our defiance, of defeat.

A subtle breath
Of timid lines
Begins to answer
Our questioned minds.

Bend your understanding
To relate to, a complex truth
Reveal your raft complicity
Unchained from –
A broken youth.

The rapture of anguish
By the death
Of its trace

Destroys its own future
Through un-moments
Of grace.

I feel an age old wisdom
Focused from the sky
Watching silent history
Pass through –
It’s ancient eye.

Shrugging off its layers
Spinning from your view
Shaking every moment
Is the mind –
Of haunted you.

The back take of impact
The bedrock
Of waste

The lithology of ejecta
From a sharp rim
Debased.

A spike of interactions
Wanders on through
Releasing its light
As it shines –
Inside you.

Imaging assembly
In the folds, of our minds
Restructures the meanings
Of truth, in our signs.

hot young stars
within pillars of gas
sculpts our edge of –

imagination

from its fulcrum
of mass.
