Poem "Reactorspheres"

more than one ball of fire in the sky
close enough to be comforting / but at a safe distance
at your beck and call / you can turn it down
when you move your hand like a wand
or accelerate the particles to the point
where your eyes turn gold / to shield your soul against an overload

nothing more than / a fracturing sphere
under the surface of your consciousness / in a dark and brackish pond
i’ll pick up the pieces / if you don’t mind / while you dry yourself out
that’s just how we work / how we are
water cooled / centrifuges / head-first / into you, over me
the water flows to a head / into its ending / and our beginning

a midst the mists /and the wintergreen
you’re not dreaming / we’re having a moment / this is synergy
the sun winks at you / through the fractal geometric trees

cascading chain reaction
it’s not the photograph / it’s your caption
i love you
