I just had to nominate this! It packed a punch, along with the rhyme and choice of words. This, and your previous poems, read like a breath of fresh air, and I like your style. I feel this piece could have been too technical, or too focused on physics where it detaches from poetry, but here, it's mesmerizing. I was hooked and the images, that sometimes we can't fully understand or process, were so vivid. I really liked the last lines of "the fragile surface of our earthly illustration" - it reminded me how vulnerable we are as humans, and how the world around us, how light shifts and energy is constructed, is kind of awe-inspiring. Especially when we can only see a sliver of light, and only so much is visible to the naked eye.

Definitely packs a punch - nice write !
