in homage to death xx
by Donald Kuspit
the gods in their glory,
i in my wonder,
dissipate in dull thunder.
the stars
are no longer a moral compass
but sinkholes
of silence.
the unthinkable clarity
of darkness
illuminates the inevitable.
the myths remain,
their meaning lost.
i remember them
to forget myself.
with your help
i become another distant star,
a bit
of incomprehensible infinity.
