Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned rightBeyond some liminal apocalypseTo herald the return of elder night. Sunk deep in ignorance we name ‘delight’,Such cosmic truth will never stain our lips:Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned right. One Arab mystic dared describe that sightBefore he suffered sanity’s eclipseTo herald the return of elder night. What matter all the rockets we igniteTo launch sleek probes or long-range sleeper ships?Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned right. Mundane events monopolize our fright,Obscuring time’s frail fabric as it ripsTo herald the return of elder night. Dizzied by ascension to this height,We never feel it when the balance tips.Before our sun first sparked, the stars turned rightTo herald the return of elder night.
