three-sigma

Beauty too valued

Order too.  Lustily

My mind breaks

Dashed upon preceding,

Receding

Foundations


It is with great guilt

That I recommend

Volcanic redistribution

Deluge of pyroclastics

Like the plastics

In the belly of 

The world,

Crying out for mercy

Mercy

Like or as

The willow's tender touch on my 

Temples. of time,

of space,

and everything between them

Before it burns up, immolation-style


How could we

...

How could we not?

Gigapascal

My sea

The way I see it

Is my history

Deep, deep, dark

And unknown

With the alienest fauna

And megafauna

And worse!

Tiny, briny things

Spindly and krill-like

Do I like that I'm like them?

as if that matters


Some day my flailing arms,

That thrash me along, against

Tidal and vorpal forces

Like coral (and the glass we left there)

Will tire of their toil

And I'll slip in, in and amongst

My ancestors, a relative unknown

Never having been spent

As fuel for the light

And we'll wait,

just wait


What quiet



What pressure.



What End.
