trapped light




what are we but trapped light
crystalline liquid
in cellular matrix
Vanderwals quick
eye twinkles toe
the seven conformations
of deoxyribo
nucleic of ecce homo 
or amor(ph)ous rhino
twirled and bent 
crosslinked and jammed
running genesis line
unbroken in us
since eocene became our scene
but if electrons whirling
in their humming orbits
suddenly and forever
shot photons wild 
and straight off to Jupiter
in a oouple of seconds
in slow times we'd glow
and you could read 
by our steady blue light
but turn us up
and we burn and burn
and light up the night
supernova into blackhole...
heavy personalities
are often formed in this way
