Numbers Too Big for Our Universe

Of numbers too vast for our universe
And experiences too deep for words,
We’ve read. We’ve read and heard. And in each case,
We’ve read or heard about them as not them.

How is it impossibly large numbers
Can be precisely named within the world
That can’t contain them? How is it that words
Tell us there are no words? How is it that

Ineffable is a word among words?
Turn. There is no universe of numbers,
Of all numbers, except the universe.
There is no experience beyond words

Except within the universe of words.
Without trees, no worlds past the trees you see.
