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
