Large forms ripple sinews and Glide through murk and mud Toward clear water and beyond Across the surface tension into the Bright light of inter-tidal air . Shadow forms hide in green shrouds, Shuffle upright onto dry savannah, Eyes focused forward, hands hold Sticks, stones to shred flesh or Dig dark earth in unshaded light. Stone chipped on stone sparks fire, Fire burned against stone melts metal, Poured into form, drawn to wire, Filed to point makes the knife-edge. Flames fuel stories, dance, delight. Candles flicker over clay tablets, Ink marks on paper, spinning discs.
Pixel points swirl on liquid crystal.
Radiation beams through silent space. Air clogs, water clouds and earth aches. Eyes tear in congested air. Steel bodies collide and rust. Fusion fires radiation fever.
