A PINPOINT HOLE FROM BLINDING HEAT TO COMPARATIVE ABYSS. FROM THE BLAZING NEST IN WHICH I HATCHED TO THE GREAT VAST EVERYTHING BEYOND

THE HANDS THAT ONCE TENDED THAT FORGE ARE LONG GONE

AND YET, SOMETIMES

WHEN THAT DRIVE TO CREATE STRIKES ME, AN URGE BOTH ALIEN AND IMBUED INTO MY VERY NATURE

SOMETIMES, IT IS MY HANDS THAT TEND THE FORGE, AS CLUMSY AS THEY MAY BE

MEMORIES MADE PHYSICAL, TANGIBLE, CRYSTALLINE

The night sky is so pretty from right along the edge.
