Iceland spar calcite
Brazen rays of light
Hinted hues hand news
Penetrating strike through
Colour streaked window
Blast upon the shadow
Growing twists and turns
Ongoing attempted burn
No time to cower
Into eleventh hour.
Inspiration for Spectrum in Hand was derived from playing around with a large clear calcite crystal, also known as optical calcite and Iceland Spar, in late afternoon sunshine.
