Growing up is learning to know
How to know how to know
The ineffable as the inevitable
True face of God– unconditional
Non-dependent, the free radical
Fractal that implodes on itself
In self-destructive acts of creation
A universe sliding from its side–
A gift for already dying children
Fearing the inevitable ineffable bang
That whimper they’ve always wanted;
Time is the flame, the world is the wick
And it is on fire, burning melting wax
That is you, eternally imploding
Self-destructive fuel for the flame
You always want but can never have
