Union with versus distance from
breaks:
the desire for distance,
for a further away, yet more radiant
mind.
Unable to take refuge
from vibration between pulses,
I gather the lissome in-between,
the firelight through eyelids,
the miscible
everyday eternal.
And with a glimpse it can endure
beyond enumerated grace,
its own glowing rawness
can be enough to blossom
into elaborate refractions,
undifferentiated mirrors
to inhere a stillness of
slightest ripeness.
