Part 7: Placidity


Good night,
Good night,

To all,
Good night.

To the dreamer
Of the awake
Entertaining guests

Of whom
Await the stew,
The Primordial Stew.

A continual energy
A boiling cauldron
Of the Stew of Life
Which brings death

To the death
Of death
Of death
Death

Death
Wilted flowers
Dead daisies

Slow painful life
Watching,
The passing death

Death before life
And born into death.

Dying stars
Ever dense
Black holes

Accumulating
Matter
Like

The omniscient one
Gathers knowledge
Gaining darkness

As ultimate blackness
Emptiness seeping from
Accretion disk sewage

While draining life
From the stars &
Galaxies

“Insert light here”
The sign says.

To us,
It is a sign
Of hungry
Massive giants

Dying
Into the death star
Funneling Universes

Into God's
Recycling station
At Nothingness Central

And here at home
Sitting, recognizing
My toilet bowl.
