First Light Machine

Opposite, attraction
Hidden, delay
Glow shock reaction
Of rotation –
Delay.

Herbig-Haro 24 >>

 

Creatures of fancy
Preachers of slight
Creep into consciousness
Deep –
Into night.

Chance Superposition >>

 

Rejected emissions
Insure, in the end
That the beginning
Of now-frames
Will return –
To transcend.

IC 1805 >>

 

Darkening nights around me
Where chill of winter blows
A cold of quick surrounds me
Impeding the thought to go

Its creeping mental picture
Lies bare beneath the snow
A brewing storm descending
That opens – my void below.

Protostar Ced 110 IRS 4 >>

 

Static, deposits
In thin, layered frames
Fold, into colored
Re-structured,
Dark flames.

Candor Chasma >>

 

We motion our intentions
We marshal through our minds
We take inferred abstentions
From the things –
We fear to find.

Ejections, of motion
As inflections, of might
Disconnects –
Their intersections
As a reflection –
Of light.

Raging through the darkness
Through the swaths
Of sharp ringshine

The mind re-blends its starkness
And adopts –
Its pure divine.

Night side >>

Like a storm cloud –
On the darkest, day of a days
A shuttering thunder, from deep away
A sharp eruption, from dull decay
A quickening crack, to full astray

Then explosion –
From an anger,
On full display.
