Light
Then there was…
before physiology invented eyes
and spacetime stretched itself out
creating extension, linearity, polarity
and entanglement.
Before star-chemistry got going
and sky boundaries entrenched
into territorial zones
- this or that, here or there
and gravity, with direction.
Ignorance - absence of light;
darkness, it’s antithesis.
When minds-eyes first opened
dawning apprehensions filtered in,
revealing primitive self-awareness
and rudimentary concepts,
delineating connections, comparisons;
exposing, if not actually manifesting
worlds within worlds;
the shades and grades of perception.
How the observer is implicated with,
existentially married to The Observed.
Impaled upon the Opposite, the Other.
Within the aegis of our equinoxial precession,
its turning point
the cosmic cogs shift
impregnating the micro to macrospheres
with transmutative photonic radiance.
So the ouroborus or re-creation
devours its own dark tail
for new cycles of light to be born.
