Bhairavi in the Long Gone
“ashes, ashes, we all fall down.”
when the Cosmos is long in time, all the ashes add up in space. it matters not how oblong the song, it will fade out, will fade, fade. . .
when the Cosmos goes into coma no one will remember the freshness of Its breath— how It heaved and heaved and heaved in fire. the dancing atoms have gone cold and numb; they can’t maintain their lattices— and break and drift away. ..
no mouth then can pronounce:— no machine then can signify:-— no gas can pass on the meme, “entropy” plasmas long gone folded and dispersed. . .
no atom is attracted to other no neutron is sovereign all uncouples in collapse.
the bleakness blankets the darkness but there are no eyes left to hear the mythical tree fall in quantum silence the bleakness blankets the home stretch the bleakness blankets final darkness
terminal nothingness
