I shall fall off a cliff and die
and like a blind dog falling off the same cliff,
my son will die, and his son;
from that same cliff until, one day, that
fucking cliff will fall off itself.
its crumbs shall crumble into themselves
until the earth becomes a peppery dust
that makes the sun sneeze; blown away.
The waning moon will wonder
what it did deserve this.
yea verily,
and the sun shall use the last
fingernail crescent of the moon for a
toothpick before going nova.
Eventually,
the empty wake of space will lap against itself
for a bit, and at that ceasing; here,
after the end of time, and not since before the beginning
of time, for the second time,
it may be quiet enough to think.
