DIAMOND ↔ GLASS

Prismatic Collision

THE TWIN TRANSPARENCIES

Diamond fires first.

White. Absolute. No apology.

Glass stands.

Clear. Still. Unimpressed.

For a split second

it looks like war.

Then the beam breaks.

Not shattered; revealed.

Pressure becomes spectrum.

Verdict becomes color.

Irreversible becomes visible.

Diamond demands cost.

Glass answers with refraction.

They are not enemies.

They are the same light

under different laws.

And when they meet,

the universe

learns how to glow.
