In the gloaming I wait,

watching the silhouetted shapes

meld into the vast sky darkening,

a late and desolate hour.

Alone, alone, hoping

the self-immolating mind

will reveal pure cast necessity,

a trillion collisions over the universe,

scattered with eyes shut.

Once more I fall into its embrace,

the deep gentle and whispering,

and see a starlit night above

without constellations.
