[back]Prismer's dilemma Reduced through microscopic sieve, Discarded as from grain to dust To daring spark the light through mesh so Fine it scarcely held itself Intact. And in that cupped hand holding mine Kaleidoscopes of silver rain fell Crash! And in that age of murky dark before Your palm discovered mine the amber glint so Modest it complained of sure Eclipse. The sun played keys Fingers tapping rhythm into mime, Collecting rays of rainbow-wrecked Errata as particles pulsed and carbon dated Screens of air and lucid dreams with every Wave. The prismer's dilemma is a surface factor nil Until the arcs of animation (Craving starlight, crazing flare) Lift arms in spokes to greet the day From dawn to reaching dawn with banished Breath.
