Because of things remembered, nothing changes We simply follow Rhythms that are distant echoes Ancestors turning in their sleep Silhouetted on the future, playful figures that cut Across the winking eye of god's projector A partial eclipse of the original light that Emanates in all directions So that darkness isn't pierced but rather Forced to retreat Pushed out by its own internal explosion The screen of god's movie is time expanding And every atom is a solid globular mirror in which His grotesque anamorphic grin splits the darkness Everywhere our world's expanding Journeys through the soul Past all thought and understanding Science or control
Looking into the future Is looking at the past In whichever direction you happened to face You were forward and i was slipping back In the time it takes for the light of the -stars- To stir-the retina-rods and cones History's in the beholder's eye A fait accompli dans une autre endroit The further away we are, the farther back we see, Unless we could gaze, instantly across the sound Where, moored like ships, planets anchored Swing and sway-golden barges Laden down with mist and frozen crystals Dancing away Everywhere our world's expanding Journeys through the soul Past all thought and understanding Science or control
