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.
