First Light Machine

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

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.

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.

Unseen visions
Scream –
Through our past
Screened,
By a future
Unreal –
And unlashed.

Haze of the Sun >>

Angle right visions
Curve –
Through the night
Sending whispers of color
To conserve –
It’s arc light.

Change –
The erosion of time
A thicket of energy
Through a compounded crush
Of a pressured –
Exchange.

Excited, false vistas
Imagining, their state
Reflect, a pareidolia
When deciding,
To create.
