The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
The PanopticSpectralParticleIlluminator

Let us spy the spectral where 
prismatic points reveal their particulars
whether one focus or two foci
walled in the infinity of a circle or some more humble integer
each angled to allow their interior refractions
to converge on two points a pupillary distance apart
from this cliff height we may ascertain
the qualities of the individuality of gems
whose arcane properties can be measured in
logarithmic brilliancies and the soul may 
feel the epiphenomenal gravity of the moment
so should we great our brother man
with respect for the wabi-sabi inclusions
we each bare within
