Stretching the dimensions
as a martyr into infinity,
waste whirls as emptiness.
The world and reality diminish.
We know to keep the candle
enough aglow in the dying
hush of night and darkness.
Creatures change dramatically---
adaptive intuition
so strives to stay alive.
Our plight is eternal.
The newborn remembers only
existence of a key
surging the invisible ubilical.
