“eternity shows itself in love with the productions of time”
~ R. H. Blyth, Zen and Zen Classics, vol. 5, p.125
Eternity shows love by fanning time
Across the vacuum of space in vast
Tsunamis spreading constellation crime.
The galaxies of stars and black holes cast
Themselves against each other in this dance
Of orgy, gobbling others in their waltz
More like a whipping, punching, painful prance.
This loving finds itself in hot assaults.
A sun chomps sun. In spice slow motion feasts
Mass reaches out with gravity to suck.
This means a marriage not requiring priests.
Each victim in this riot goes amok.
Affection of this sort is timeless, though,
Since eons pass unmeasured in their flow.
~ Phillip Whidden
