The sublime duality of this universe is realized
at the moment when death is known to be imminent
and one chooses to exchange it for an instant of ecstasy:
to create a universe in a matter of moments
birth, expansion, explosion and death.
We are given the opportunity to touch the infinite.
Together She and I can become more powerful than I could ever have imagined.
And so I sniff every inch of her tender nape in the vain hope of remembrance,
as if time mattered.
But now I can die. Continuity belied.
Now: it is immortal.
