To touch the infinite

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.
