It came hurtling forth,
a dragon’s egg of fertile aspirations
seeking its own shattering;

incubation’s impact with fractal pact
propagating fertile blackness
with synesthesia’s ecstasy,

with evidence of her interstitial
interstellar influence
spiderwebbing from southeast,
radiating out to all points
known and unknown,

frozen here in eternal still life,
the captured aftermath of cosmic muse
striking an empty plane,
obliterated ego caught completely unaware,
unable to absorb totality of flaming pigment,

as nearly all energetic material
is rebounded with bow shock
and ensuing inverted shockwave
with calamitous thud;

chaotic kinetic streaks discharge
with exasperated exhale
and inexhaustible vigor,
