Initialised

anthems in the burnt shells of dreams
name black as the colour of atonement

the two steps of choice
may be earth burning beneath the volcano
or mercy in the shape of an atom
in the process of becoming

encoded imprints of matter and substance
form the seeds which replace tomorrow

being, the counterpoint of knowing,
fuses the world at the edge of everywhere

opposites huddled together in contrast
a thousand repetitions repeated
from beginning to end
chains, cogwheels, ligatures, creaking systems,
and everything between, after nothing, nothing after,
touches the fingertip of truth

birth within birth, the cell divisive inventing itself
energy indivisible in the least particle,
the eternal effect of cause continues
turns becoming into dimension without numbers
puts sequence into the speech of stars
ignites every colour beyond sight
connects the uncertain arguments of smallness
reverses the polarity of separation
irradiates line, construction and structure: nuclear revelation

the undefined unravelling of an opposite
defines the thing about nothing…
