In the quiet
Explosion
Of the darkest time
Emerges a stranger
To itself
A vision of a filled
Emptiness
Cascading in ellipses
As a symphony of color
An arc thought
At most –
A reflection
Of potential
Of a frightened,
Innermost ghost.

Icy cracked dynamics
Within a wrinkled
Wrecked terrain

Locks on human wonder
Through new horizons
Of insane.

Magnetar models
Detect and define
A flash –
Of raw power
Refined,
By pure time.

A cascading morphology
From impact,
To change

Reveals a syntax
Of energy
Redefining, its range.

A scream
Of cold silence
Projects the angry message
Of presence
Within a marker of the maker
From the future
Of history
To the creation
Of now.

A violent void in matter
A vision blacked with shade
A vector for our wisdom
Details a dream –
That’s not afraid.

Fresh dusty dunes
Secretly shine
When whispering information
Of ancient design.

Stale dusty details
Repeatedly refine
An awareness of sense
An exo-soul, redefined.

a late-time acceleration
through a predictably
curved straight

finds a natural unreason
to deny its own
stellar fate

a framework of deceleration
that refuses
to equate

finds a Darkness of season
within a re-charged
negative state.

Successive generations
Of explosive vibrations
Reveal a dark shell
And conceal a veiled hell
That releases
The complexity
Of creation.
