First Light Machine

Within my memory
Flashed from birth,
I feel the complexity
Of the vastness –

Both inner and outer,
Intricate and simple,
Chaos coupled to clarity
In a memorized meaning – of the now.

M42 >>

 

Backdrops of color
Alive, and alone
Are the wonders
In nature
Of a thriving,
Unknown.

ARP 188 >>

 

Measured, gross emissions
Combined,
By brute force

Detracts, from a vision
Of a designed,
Streamed source.

SOFIA >>

 

A complex, detection
Of an accreciated, wave
Reflects its dark energy
As a time bending, slave.

M87 >>

 

Sculpted, gas regions
A scattered system,
Harassed

Reveals, a dark field
As an infrared yield,
Re-cast.

Herschel 36 >>

 

Glow, energetic
Emission, supreme
Through a prominent, view
Of and echoed,
Inside dream.

Xi Persei >>

 

Vertical visions
Of spiraling shields
Redirect their collisions
Through the depth –
Of their fields.

VLA >>

 

Microstructure apertures
Hiding from our view
Detects a plasmic scatterer
In streaming –
Jets of blue.

Centaurus >>

 

Elongated, motions
Of irradiating, waves
Rebalances, our notions
Of how structuring –
Behaves.

R 136 >>

 

Thermal, stress
Of dioxide, distress
Shows a seasonal –
Distinctive,
Finesse.

Kunowsky Crater >>
