Oh to be the destroyer of worlds!
would that I have such power-
or, if that not be possible
that would I be able to see the stars
explode in the night around me,
see something greater than me
act with undeniable agency-
and be hit with stardust
which is the clouds of memories
of things that,
like us,
rose from ash
and returned to ash
with only their souls left burning.
