untitled

Absorption of all light
Of every visible energy particle
Of all portions of the spectrum
Like a signal to an antenna
Like vitamin D to soil and bark
Like builders to work on monuments
Like scholars to an archive
Like prophets to canon
Like dusk on Manifest Destiny
and midnight over America
Turning barbarians’ wack linguistics to motivation
or, at least, pride
Like sunlight to melanin
Like…since Pangea
They can not outshine
that which absorbs all visible energy
All portions of the spectrum
