when  there  is  a stone  in the  puddle 
 it  is an annoyance  to  bear  in  mind, 
           an obstacle to avoid           
                                          
 when the  mountain comes out of the sea, 
 it  is   something  to   be   cherished, 
        a god's finger reached out,       
          into space, into heat           
                                          
         (force comes with scale)         
                                          
 millions   of   mirrors.  and   we   are 
           launched into space:           
                                          
 we   sail  on   the   concentrated  sun, 
 even now our ally, even in our betrayal. 
                                          
 a   stone   through    the   puddle   of 
       the helisophere. hoping to be      
 the  first  scale on a  spine  of  rock.
