Fraught

Searching

The abstract colours reason

But I persist to fail

In the absence of faith

Cycles bound

By throes of attrition

Oft united yet surely more is lost in time

Beyond fathom

Billions firing

Flashes burn and spew prostrate

Wisped monads from crimson puncture

Our bonds are broken

All meaning sundered

Striving for

Constant reduction

Bursting from

The pit beneath

Unyielding

Yet beyond the grasp

Of scale and form

From nothingness born

Fleetingly

Of sprawl and flame

From nothing it came

Seemingly

The gap between

Us tears apart

Impel our end

Layers surge

And strip away

Cast into nought

Oy

Of matter torn

As eons I mourn

Achingly

Ohhh

Of atoms maimed

As epochs are tamed

Blindingly

In that final absence

We never were
