the earth shifts even as
the waters reach up
and outward to the
blazing stars themselves

shaggy headed snake
writhing and heaving
holding tightly in its
coils the resting sun

where all principles await discovery

thunder listens for
the best moment of
stillness and silence

where all the children
of dust fall apart
in shuddering specks

frolicking flecking flinging

torn from the solar
egg of the serpent
piercing intension

open unconscious
prophecies, purpose
meaning allowance

listening weighing judging

secret syllables
extraordinate

shimmering, falling
fire brand sparkling

contest contain consider

brilliance
