Magnified Dawn
Through the initial magnified eye of vital dawn,
Pierced that long powderkeg wick underneath;
Mercilessly flammable, the combustible dusts candle flamed,
Ran anguish on path with every tongue,
With passages & persuasions, actions & consequences, diametric forces,
Everything that remained beyond all decisions charred,
Engulfed bigger, grander flames slid along
The gnarled braid of fates’ twisting sinuosity
Together as the firelight slowly ripped along that circuitous length
With every intention to reach the street of dreams,
To extend through, & erupt that tremendous crystal ball;
Exploded the real separation-
A dynamite exasperation of Time
As another had become still again,
Entwines of needling curves in visual form unraveled;
Then, among that glittering,
Then among the breaking or popping vanished into thin air
In silent ineffable stillness,
Among the breaking or cracking release
Like gazing at embers in italic jet ruptures,
Totally stealing that look, that awaking little look,
That stealing look, that stealing look in your eye
When embers break or pop, cracked open his eyes
Stealing little looks in other eyes now; here,
Splattered in euphoria, in glee;
Without a pause there, the firelight sifted beyond where
All had come over and foretasted the mark,
The gentle blasted scar of the glass just in pieces,
The bright street of dreams all over
Crinkled off the pavement in them quiet glitters
