2d
a salutation, a benediction, a good wish
yet one  so troubling, not from a lacking,
of sincerity
but from opacity

opacity~  the quality or state of a body that makes it impervious to the rays of light; the condition of lacking transparency or translucence; opaqueness

"Because space is a vacuum,
these good wish waves
can travel unimpeded and at
a constant speed through empty space,
eventually interacting with objects like
planets and telescopes upon arrival"

but I am not a vacuum, a void, and
do not exist within one,
here in my surroundings,
is much interface interference,
the light you send, has
bounced around endlessly
forever, till it may have hit
its intended target,
me
within, without,
and surely has picked up
some tagalong
amoeba, bacteria,
outside contradictories
that may have changed its very nature,
its purity disturbed,

"Pure light" contains a single wavelength or frequency
and cannot be broken down into other colors

but my confusion is indeed a spectrum of Joseph's many colors,
clashing and thrashing with each other,
cohering but not of necessity,
cohering, this a metaphor,
you so lightly send my way,  
let us redirect its warm sensibility sensitivity,
let us take an /our inner glow; diffuse


if one cannot send light across the cosmos,
maybe across the Interpet, but just verbally,
send to me
please, absolutely,
tagged "for immediate delivery"
                                             and I will store
                                        
     all of it,
                                             in my glass jar,
next to my heart,
                             and just
                             glow from within
