shake the globe                                    how many possible states
 
so abundant                                          atomic flood
of primordial combustibility                                      primary    H
 
this
universe    is no plane                         it heaves         ripples
in invisible            concentric spheres               
feeding
 
one
 
photon                    one e                       merging waves
jumping                 orbit to orbit                                   numbering
 
one                                            
 
in fire                                    this omega element        is  
luminous   so luminous                                 in fusion                 
 
creation’s proving ground             H            ignites                     Shiva-like               unbecoming
present                                               visible                                                                     becoming
