Thank YOU, Rachel, for another engaging and adventurous prompt!!
One small thing: The way I wrote this originally, it's broken up into stanzas/sections. I couldn't figure out a way to add empty lines. (Cue "How many programmers does it take?" jokes 🤣)
For now I'll try adding some punctuation to break it up.

—
belief, a frame, an apparition;
animated intuition.
a speaking of all and no tongues.
be judicial but don't hold it back.
—
find the good. the gospel here?
loneliness, an illusion bared.
in leaning back, allowance made.
let love of all of this pervade.
—
laughter, thus, my only possible response.
a shy turn of my head.
always knew you; never could describe.
—
a life of many corners
undiscovered, re-recovered.
collect and analyze.
let adjustments come with honesty.
—
i am me; we are stored in base four.
jump, combine, stir, rattle, launch.
—
find me here, then know what choice within!
sieze the space-between with unclenched mists.
we're here, but who are these arrived?
"change again," collapse the tides.
—
numbered mana, count and multiply,
daily done, black or any one.
symbolic and/or digital,
still yours, still liquid.
—
yes, it's death, but just a moment now.
interstitial intervals or minor cavities.
wake up again; i am presence now.
—
a blinking moon, a monthly song.
she rests her face on Nyx.
at dawn, rebirth, craters intact.
the dark requests the light.
—
the sum of all successes and failures.
