Cutting through the tangled threads of consciousness

Evacuate the earthen womb

Third-dimensional web of pain

Reality a shrinking speck

In endless folds of space

Senses devolve to formless dissonance

Reduced to projections of fear

Perception strangled by claws of dream

A feverish journey

A burden panspermic

The purifying embrace

Of absolute zero

Sullen peace

A graveyard of dead stars

Depleted of thought

Expansive void of

Nebulous rubble

Tabula rasa

Seeds of insanity

Nucleic acid

A cosmic poison

Propagating life

Father of infection

Centuries of travel

Enclosed in an instant

A purpose imagined

Disposition quenched

Time and awareness crushed

By the jaws of gravity
