Indelible mark of the light,
the language inscribed in indigo ink
deep into the chest,
etching it ineffably, its
curving codes and frequencies
here now, in the center,
as particles dance and gleam all round.
Yes, you are marked, bound
into the family
those who wear the sign
and know boundlessness
even within the density.
