We’re falling with a company of clouds part of that old storm of stardust debris Focusing through that needle’s eye to mound On the other hourglass chamber till you breathe. A first breath that makes the pages unfurl, white as a newborn’s pearly clear sclera when they’re unveiled to the light-driven world Pages follow sun and moon together. Every word from stranger and lover sets hungry ink to seep and sink in lines. Axons string the page as memory nets caught words wrinkling, till they fill black to the spine. Then as the body unstitches to the winds the mind writes in white on pages within.
Based on the hindu perspective that life is a book steadily filling with written memories till the pages are black and in death we simply switch to writing on them in white.
