Where exactly do we live in this universe?
In violin strings caressed by the the bow?
In pebbles rolled in the river's flow? Between
Strata in cliff bands, watching Condors float on streaming
winds below?
Rabid illumination-tiny dots of stars
Unreachable in the night sky- untouchable
Charismatic lights-cold pathways through
Obliteration's magic illusions- touchstones
for our diamond eyes.
