Butterfly Effect

With weary frankness I lean into Evenings diffident shadows, Wavering hues, grays and blues Peering between the cloistered stars: Endless dream I forgot how to navigate Encompassing moments built by tidal movements And sudden divisions between orbital shells Inertial havoc starts the blood rushing The world's a quagmire of uninhabited space With lonely islands of pulsating matter Suns unnumbered, rippling the waves collapse Take all my heartbeats too, that as I languish, The resonance might start another avalanche The fiery, seeding vacuum of dawns early light, That old magician's hat trick. But be merciful to me, centrifugal womb of time; Both the product and the witness The sum of the totality only here, only this, only now- This forever world, always just on the brink Of breaking into a hundred thousand new worlds, From insignificance multiplied Far beyond any meaningful purpose: For nobody controls even one solitary particle down here.
