Hatched By The Abyss Poem by Denis Mair

(for an image by Danaé Écarlate* and for one of her poetic fragments, see Note 2 below.**)
..................

The cosmos is inscrutable in its purpose,

perhaps related to highlighting energy states in consciousness:

discordance being represented by agony

and sustainable exchange by bliss.

There is an architecture of intense energy flows...

a ladder-like mesh extending from macrocosm down to fleshly organs.

Organismic development strapped us into the cosmic hot seat,

to be the privileged recipients of pulsating auroras;

in an utter involution haloed by a gathering vortex,

a spiral bract of shimmers is routed through a switchboard of sentience,

tugged by notional declivity toward a vibratory ordeal,

destined for the harrowing reward and culminating cash out,

exposed to final noospheric exhalations,

given off by lifetimes of coalescence in their crumbling.

The emptiness f**ks me, its enjoyment is slow.…'}
