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.
