15,000 Metres Above Time


In the eye of the cyclone

the most important event

has never taken place. Stillness

holds the world in narcissistic trance:

silent greyness contemplating itself

under a dead star of spider dreams

in a galaxy you cannot escape.

You hold your breath without daring to whisper.

This eternity may be your last;

nature cannot die, so must suffer longest.
