There are stars here! There are stars here, my friends! And as I lie among the streetlight- -cast penumbras staring at the Pentahedral crystal hammock jungle gym     I am with them! I am with them in wonder In joy in amazement in ecstasy in open- -eyed revelation of truth As I realize I was born not In a city of shadows But in a city of such blinding brightness That I could never marvel at the darkness              and the darkness is beautiful here. Perfect halogen moonbeam outlines of imperfect Bodies frolicking in selfprescribed madness Spinning in the chemical centrifuge Until lights become light and             encircles us        endlessly Creating its own central outward                 Gravity As I become you become me And we sail this endless sea of                 Blackness And we fall ever deeper into the great                Singularity everconsuming everlasting         All Encompassing Feeling Grasping Gasping             Growing                                Seeing                                               Darkness. Instruments of depravity Forged great, twisted Spinal curvatures held proud And feared by the mighty For our words poison their youth Revealing our shadowy enlightenment Clarifying with murky water Promises of intangible tangibilities. Beautifying chaotic tangled Masses forming perfection in          nebulous        amorphism.                      Downward, Downward                         Circling ever downward                            Spiraling veraciously downward Downward the holy! Downward the giving! Downward unto Heaven! Downward unto Hell! Downward unto Creation!                   Down. Where the soul becomes concrete And the concrete vague                                                  synesthetic                                                                           bliss.      The Darkness is beautiful here. 6 September 20l0
