Cosmic eruptions from soil,
Pearlescent and arrestingly
Luminous in their novelty,
Supernatural filigree
Tantalizing and bending light.
New forms emerge to recombine,
Gemstone helix unwound
Along invisible magnetic lines
As if straining to meet the eye.
Watch them arc and sway
As rain fills each glowing cup,
Babylon towers brought to their knees
With the weight of Her sloppy, wet kiss.
