Depth without dawn.
Silence without fear
Pressure without measure.
In the black vault beneath all things,
a crown of light unfolds.
It burns. It blooms. It fades.
As above, so below.
As in fire, so in water.
As in birth, so in collapse.
A jellyfish flares
a supernova turned inward,
its brilliance folded,
its name observed.
What the stars shout,
the deep remembers.
What the galaxies scatter,
the trenches keep.
Light is a brief confession.
Darkness the long penance
As above, so below.
As in ending, so in beginning.
As in silence, so in song.
Thorn and Benediction
