And a silent shine
Renders a darkened window
Into

A violent release
From a virtual drain
Is a vision of horror
From a volcanic, un-remain.

Softly searching for
A place of ground.

Of a secret found
Softly touches

a hallows brush
detects a touch
of gravity's weight
immense in fate
seeming carefully
out of focus
forced
to crush.

denied by touch
is a kinetic of hate
strengthened by weight
searching carefully
for a focus
unprepared
to trust.

And a relished find
Reflects the casual touch
Of reflected time.

A grafted print
With a crafted shine
Is the refracted touch
Of the present mind.
