I feel its strangeness on my back Chillingly vast A preternatural pressure On the corner of my mind A truth or universal secret Just beyond the paper-skin Of this gorgeous mundane life Perhaps out there behind The vapour-veils of nebulae An entity at rest In the hidden dark Of Saturn moon. I feel it might be soon: But what? Existentialcheat-notes A key to what it all means A glimpse of towering fires Powering the universal engine Combustion of possibility And the blazing seeds of souls...
Agh! This half-remembered thing! Faded profundity! Like God whispered A mystery in my sleep Can't shake it nor wake it. In a mind this small I have one part of a Billion-pieced jigsaw Showing sky or breath.
Whatever this is, It scales me to pretty dust. I sense it overshoulder Like deities or demons Eyes watching Unseen but just a touch beyond. Eerie but uplifting A lullaby for banshees. Tell me I am not alone... Say you feel it too Then you and I can stand Hand in hand On the edge of forever.
