Therefore I Am

I saw the eternal heavenly pathways Uncoil their starry swirl, And I watched the fabric of time drop stitches, Split its’ seams and uncurl. So the past and the future kissed again And I saw the roof of night shatter, Fracturing into fragments of whirling nebula As matter meets anti-matter. And the Catherine wheel whiz of the sky Spun voraciously round and round, I saw moonbeams dust off my palms As bleeding galaxies hit the ground. I conceived centuries colliding forever, Infinite train wrecks of time and space, The bleeding cosmos savaged my brain, And the sky crawled on my face. To coin a phrase of bygone days Live long enough, you’ll see it all, Therefore I am in quantum terms Obscure astrological scrawl.
