Time...The Negative Universe?
Stepping off on another forty,
On the right foot!
The big bang has roots in a single life force
As we radiate out from our birth
The heat of conception cools
So does our desire to return to the womb
We radiate out from our birth
Seeing the tunnel as a distant black whole
From which we were ejected
We develop other forms of our first needs
We are driven to acquire them differently
”Sex is companionship on fire”
Love is companionship going into darkness
The cold out here, it is always cooling
Like in water ice is always melting
Though farther away from the heat the needs remain
The needs never change out into this starlight
Just resolved in new ways
The entire trajectory defined in an instant
Executed by time
Measured in light years
I have never changed
The new light makes me look different
Bluer I would guess
The cold has stiffened my skin
The future is limited
I am the same
The ironies of wanting to continue makes continuing necessary
Some are closer, in time, to that bang then I
The diminishing heat still warms them a bit more with hope
My more diminished warmth has me taking refuge in memories
Occasionally an out of control speeding player streams faster from the center
A deformed emotional aerodynamic
She approaches desperately trying to slow down
By chance and by effort we catch hands
A new emotional aerodynamic (tumbling tandem travel)
Time and we slow down
The last of the journey becomes peaceful
The end now delayed can be welcomed with less fear
Regardless of its approaching finality
We are mutually warmed now by contact
Reentry, heat and companionship
At last
Finally
