Vaguely omnipresent,
it emanates
and radiates
at once
inside and outside
everything
and myself
like the universe’s
low hum
beneath millennia
of ontic threat;
it leaks
between
all permutations,
flowering
between our arms
like morning glory
tendrils
turning
toward the sun.
I hold myself
along the edge
of permeability;
neither a part
or apart –
a transition
disintegrating
obscurely
like the last
flourishes
of a solar flare.
