Shocking Heavens
Shocking heavens
Similar to a sweltering adapter
Unthinkably far-off,
Reminiscent of an eddy blur of earth,
Neighboring a sightless galaxy
So charming in reflection but in practice so dreadful;
From time to time these heavens flee our psyches
When in actuality they should take the most variety; to stay alive in a world in which nothing is acknowledged
Is to exist in a vivid space where nothing is revealed.
