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.
