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

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

Of matter torn

As eons I mourn

Achingly

Of atoms maimed

As epochs are tamed

Blindingly

In that final absence,

We never were
