I burned on both ends,
like a candle,
stitching the Sun
and the core of the Earth together.
Like a wire,
system interconnected,
plugged in,
downloading the cosmos.
Neutron stars
to neurons lit.
Sparks cascading,
and embers,
hot and intense lives,
winking out of existence;
quick as they came.
Synergistic,
symbiotic.
An ecology of light,
lattice-worked against the backdrop
of dead infinity.
New parts growing,
birthing,
creating,
quicker than the final burn
of atrophy.
Light,
is temporarily alone,
but it lives on,
eternal,
in the circuit
that illuminates
and stands against the darkness.
