Star Formation

With ocean visible in all directions
For as far as one chooses
An odd shape breaks the surface
Of the dark placid waters
And forces up in a stream
Pillars of water that quickly
Turn gaseous and similar to
Sulfur billows
Not quite like a horse's head
But better approximating some Victorian Queen
Twisting and turning
And moving with unreal consistency
And they are squeezed from within
To dense pockets
Expelling anxieties
In a stream from both poles
Until they cease to compress
Into a single bright point
The core not beating
But still and laden with love.
