DEATH ETERNAL
There is no Eternity, no Infinity
for us mortal 'souls' -
there is the void,
the swarming sea of particles
appearing, disappearing;
a quantum dance that gave
terrible sentience, consciousness
that flees in the face of
the reality it inhabits:
The cosmos, a film
on the surface of something greater
forever hidden
from the ape that came down
from the trees, who fashioned a stone
and struck blood with it;
the marrow devourer who
yearned the brights lights
above in the night, who
yearned life beyond life,
who tore away the veil
and saw his death eternal.
