Is it true
the universe is running away?
Simply become more than less,
Not going somewhere,
because there is nothing
beyond itself to go to.
But rather,
like a giant bird
spreading its wings
in awe of the sun,
until it surrounds the star
that gave it life,
and snuffs out everything
with the infinity of its feathers.
The book The House of the World has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is now available on Amazon.
