Coiled spring flow:
That terrible temporal helix
Trapped in situ, yet touching
All points in alignment.
Parallels forever out of touch
Yet oppressing in compression.
The all-Father hangs and gasps,
Transcendent wounds gaping
Like the maw he will come
To fear, in the times of burnt out suns.
Outside, outside, and again, outside-
To drown as a thirsty soul
Beyond the stars, in the tree
That touches all the spaces.
[Even those hidden interstitials]
[Yes, the ones you refuse to see]
