THE VESSEL
At the vertex of a mountain top, an ancient,
primitive people watched the night heavens for
signs of shooting stars. Not yet knowing the
future history of meteors, meteorites and rockets;
meteor showers were epic battles among the sky gods,
meteorites, their fallen bodies forged in great
fires hitting the earth in terrible chaos.
Eventually, in due time, rockets were invented.
A vessel was prepared for the long journey to the
abode of lost gods and wandering black holes.
Disparate, scattered icons of the world were found,
studied, accumulated and cleverly devised into
structured elements of the vessel's integrity.
The pilot was complete. The launch accomplished.
The vessel soared hidden in the mists of time and space.
An age transpired. Then another. And then
a third. The vessel landed, or crashed, on an
unknown world, high atop a basin of melting
glaciers and clear springs. The structured elements
of the vessel's integrity spilled out onto the
gathered waters, and were washed downstream upon
a great river valley.
Thesis, antithesis, synthesis; out of chaos,
something new was born.
