snowflake
galaxies whirl over the frozen pond
white sparks
stream from an old coal shovel
standing
straight up against the wind
I see light
everywhere
from across
the universe
photon embers
of the big bang
fill the sky
to the edge of the moon
a deer on the
ridge
looks into my
eyes
we share a
breath
in that cold
moment
between two
lives

The patterns seem to appeal to me. Darkness look like night.
Scrolling down I stopped at this composition because it reminded me of something. This composition reminds me of those times when I have my eyes closed and I see those little floaters going around, but I can never look straight at them because they scurry away. As for the poem bellow it, it reminds me of a moment of fear shared between the individual and the deer. The phrase “Like a deer in headlights” comes into my brain because of the lights described in the poem. Overall, this is another wonderful piece Tuillio.
