Circumventing the Nexus

 As the electromagnetic event 
unfolds along the spatial 
coordinates of the axes 
humankind is most attuned to 
ripples in realtime expand 
outward often at the same 
time and never in sync.  

Despite all the old stories 
having been lost
somehow from deep within 
their forgotten lore 
diamonds emerge 
that stick in the memory 
of all who behold them.  

These gem points 
are more like moments 
in time, separated by 
annihilating whirlpools 
and casting their solitary light 
upon these shifting battlefields 
as one single shadow leaning 
into the setting sun. 

An array of eyelets 
letting in the light
pinholes in a shroud 
draped over the world. 

The inner organs 
of the super attenuated 
manifestations of light 
reveal themselves after 
having performed their function
in a sort of turned inside-out array 
of spatial configuration 
set above us all 
as if we are upon the dot 
of the very punctuation mark 
we dare to question. 

Simply step up onto the podium 
to ask and watch the world 
retreat around you 
hissed the whispers 
echoing in the wind. 

Such it has always been 
since the mind like men's 
be questioned. 

Such it will always be 
to see thine self 
in the same  
mirrored 
reflection. 

We travel forward 
hoping to circumvent 
the nexus left in the wake 
of our predecessors 
who hoped we would 
not awaken. 

We move along the timeline 
with eyes wide open 
looking forward to score 
a token of appreciation 
for the path we have taken. 

We walk in electromagnetic 
harmony with the conductor 
and reactor after dreaming 
in a state of suspension 
and slumber.
