Ninety-degree turn at the speed of light
Doth blindside me outside my lover's sight
Your red-shift, complementing me, askew
Begs greenlight's tuning frequency with you
My angstroms shine upon reluctant ohms
Yet variegated hues bring forth the foam
Resistance wanes, dark shadows do reverse
And ionize mine eyes—with yours, converse
Your rainbows weld in arcs that open eyes
So now I see you where you're wont to fly
Your visions, loveliness, shan't limit gaze
Another sense espies in other ways
One faculty be light, that shows you home to me
But taste and fragrance, songs and touch, too, see

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
