Forever
motionless capsule
where time has never begun.
Nothing
has ever changed.
Nothing
has ever been born.
Eternal, this
conceptless unknown.
With infinite hunger,
it obliterates self-knowledge.
Geometry, physics, mathematics:
It extinguishes linearity.
Crushes rationality.
Cannibalizes intellect.
Scapegoats the hanging world
Of dust and procreation.
Flicks the droplet of humanity
& their watery magnetism
Off its hands.
Planets its billiard balls,
Asteroids its pond pebbles,
Galaxies its dim dowry,
Voidfulness its bride.
