The density of heat
Within a radiated shell
Determines the status
Of present,
By reforming
The presence
Of hell.

A luminous brilliance
A cathedral of shine
A signature of substance
Where reality –
Is defined.

Ongoing loops
In the core,
Of our being

Assure, not a sense
But a view,
To our seeing.

Double star clusters
Reflect, the unseen
Hiding out, in shaved curves
Creating dark mass –
Routines.

Radiated colors
Falling backwards, in time
Seek their new positions
In crashing landscapes
Re-aligned.

Radiated visions
Rocking inwards, inclined
Greet their fate solutions
Through arcing shadows
Re-defined.

Downstream windows
Deflect
And detract
A carved impact
Relieved
By a tract
Ripped
Within a visioned
Abstract.

Yellow leach reflections
Rumbling through our dreams
Connect –
And trace a history
Of a past –
In present streams.

Blueish bleached refractions
Shining future themes
Reject –
Their place in history
Through a now –
Of pure extremes.

A window in a vacuum
A silence born from sound
Where a whisp –
Of information
Breaks through,
Its dark foreground.
