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.
