nothing flees into immortality without consequence. not
the storm of death, not the rush-to-sea of utter forgetfulness
never into “unreciprocated” emptiness—a heaven that forbids
the promiscuous—increase not even one atom of the void
a womb evacuates. the beyond (the new born say) has no sway
without a grave embrace & what (the dying say) is eternity without
a uterus?
the horsehead nebula
