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.

Angles of nature
Mark
The past of tomorrow
Within progenitor whispers
Thier secrets of movement
Their tell –
Banished
And then somehow expelled.

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.

Unfiltered emotions
Float –
On black oceans
Of a negative pain
A post positive,
Frame
Inside the vacuum
Of shocked
Filamentary
Flame.

Deep blue hues
Shake from within
By piercing our vision
And halting our spin.

Dark scared clues
Sheds its cold skin
By revealing a history
In the how, of begin.
