downLight:

downLight: an Alchemical transmluminal process with darkness the Mother of light


halting-stars we are, aching
for the vastness of space,
that lonely-only place
where heat-beats swell
on the edge of night -

here we are sun~bending toward a red-ochre sky,
a gnarled branch, and bony-finger reach
for a cloudy-whirl, white on blue,
all the while curling-roots 'round
stones of earth, star-imbued mud
for sipping nameless elements of course -

we lurch in wind, whimper for the climb,
make leaf-song, slow-swelling from Sun
drenched dirt, the blood of longing serpents-up,
from deeper whirl'ds-turn'd where harder-roots have
sunk

into the electron-cloud where numinous-valences are allowed,
which are inspired to arise, such that lead becomes gold
glowing as a singular-sight, vortex'd through Quantum tunnels
that make our body bright -

just another rapturous transmutation
of matter into light
