**End Times**  
*by Rekha Valliappan*

“…and the illusion

Of end times.” –‘The Muse of Universes”, Alice Major

Space--  
The same fixed polarity--  
The same thrust of temporality

Time--  
The quasi chasm of limbo that  
Smokes, suspends, spins

Fractal symmetry of consequential loops  
Reverse, repeat, blare plural sweeps  
\--in the interactive;

Between eons of twilight red ruddy  
Stems, interlocking holes, dim dense  
Magma congeal into dead dwarfs,  
Overriding a zillion years.  
\--*We dwell in maya*

Shadow shift in Triads of Threes  
Earth, Air, Nothingness  
Create, Preserve, Destroy  
Particle, Atom, Spark  
Was, Is, Will Be--Abysses  
In the void of ether--*Other*

Talk about dark swallowing matter  
Talk about sound shattering echoes  
Talk about time beyond radiance  
Talk about binaries looping stars  
Talk about souls’ series journeys  
Talk about suns’ scattering light

That time never was,  
That space never wants

Its flotsam of unfurled cosmos,  
Unhinged blackness, collapsed  
Densities of spitting infinity  
Eased upon the turning point

The illusion being the reality  
Branding contrail streaks  
Riven by reverberation of  
A vastness that ever was—*is—*  
\*Will be--\*disappearing in dimensions,  
To return ever—*Now, repeat.*

\*  
*The End*
