As Yet

The only reason for tonguing
The sore abscess that is
An awareness of death

Is that dying to death
Remains the only certainty
One ever gets.

Rotate around that monster
At the core of your dusty,
Glowing galaxy.

From the beginning
Of naming, to the latest
Elaborate modeling

Of neurons and the birth
Of the universe, still just the one
Certainty discovered, as yet.
