Ragnarok

Within a vast desert
Seas of burning sand
A lone cloud driven before the merciless sun
Dies before it can sate the thirsting ground
Here I am close to the beginning side
As close as unchanging ocean
Where first was entropy defied
A rough hewn stony beast
Haunts this place,
It lies in wait, a cat shall feast
Upon our cursèd race.

Delenda Roma est.
Kyrie eleison

Nine for mortal men, doomed to die
Nothing lasts forever- not the earth or sky
Gaseous orb casts stinging light
Behind the light is-
Where the shadows lie
The shadows lie,
Twisting shape and form.

Homo, sicut faenum dies equs,
Tamquam flos agri sic efflorebit.

Look into her kaleidoscope eyes
Her scent intoxicates, like cheap wine
Sweet as fermenting fruit,
Rotting strawberry fields.
In French,
Black hole is a dirty word
Singularities will be the end
La petite mort
I dare not taste a bit of death
But a few inches across, it
Contains a fallen star.

Guarda, dona, el volto mio
Com' è forte impalladito;
El tormento acerve è rio
Saqu'o son mostrato adito
¡Laso me, chè son ferito!
Ne me po sanar onguento.

Do not try to drown my fears-
Brahma's awakening,
The fall of Asgard,
Will burn the subtle fabric
End Clotho's spinning,
Rend Lachesis' weave,
And mercifully dull
Atropos' deadly shears.
