Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned right
Beyond some liminal apocalypse
To herald the return of elder night.
Sunk deep in ignorance we name ‘delight’,
Such cosmic truth will never stain our lips:
Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned right.
One Arab mystic dared describe that sight
Before he suffered sanity’s eclipse
To herald the return of elder night.
What matter all the rockets we ignite
To launch sleek probes or long-range sleeper ships?
Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned right.
Mundane events monopolize our fright,
Obscuring time’s frail fabric as it rips
To herald the return of elder night.
Dizzied by ascension to this height,
We never feel it when the balance tips.
Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned right
To herald the return of elder night.
