First Light Machine

Z, two, redshift through
Circles,
What make us –
You.

MACSJ0138, Supernova Encore >>

 

Wrinkle wedge sisters
Wrangle through time
Wrestling with whispers
Through its weathered –
Design.

Melas Chasma >>

 

Breaking its wavelength
Ghosting its sight
Bathing in brilliance
Is its moment, of might.

52,000 parsecs >>

 

IDL TIFF file

Screams of nature
Howling with rage
Shaking in anger
In a teeming –
Rampage.

V838 >>

 

I must look up into the breach again,
To the wondrous sight in the sky,
And ask that I do understand
Of a star, that now wonders its why.
And the breath of color that sing’s its song
The lengths of its light shaking,
Through the shaded mist of history’s face,
The present, of its dawn, breaking.

Hat Tip – John Masefield, “Sea Fever”

Hidden Infant >>

 

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.

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

ARP 188 >>

 

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

VLA >>

 

Measuring, the moments
By marking, its mean
Maps, the components
Of an intangible –
Scene.

Wide Field Camera 3 >>

 

The vastness of time
Defines halls,
That connect

Restructuring minds
Reflects calls,
To affect.
