Pulsar
Suddenly a word
becomes filled with light.
It is a neutron star
freighted with mass.
You explore its unimaginable
density as it spins
innumerable times
in a second, heavy
with meaning.
It beams
its radiance across
the vast expanses
of your imagination
releasing spaces and
illuminating corners
you never knew
existed within you.
The pulsed light
that reaches you
is the inspiration
igniting your poem.
