City

I saw IT

set below

on a velvet night,

like a sweep of burning liquid-crystal shard, or animated net:

A network of stunning amber Star-barns: 

Cages catching embers strewn 
on a mighty waffle press to make: 
A galaxy in 2-D grid, 
A micro-chip ablaze, or 

An even odder image of the inner earth aglow 

with row and ray of pinhole pierce,  

(Through the mantle deep) 

Light seeping upward from 

some vast neon smelter blasting underneath.
