Bastet's Shadow
translating the light
deep within the mass
of an oscillating sea
where dark matter
may be unearthed
is this the dense abyss
of weightless discovery
or are we on the pinpoint crest
of the vast, forever unknown
the empirical quandary
smell
see
touch
hear
taste
how can you grasp
that which eludes
the senses
limited so, by physical reach
Anubis chases Bastet’s shadow
or is it his burnt-out cosmic tail
the darkest, coolest of cats
alive or dead, existing or not
will not be contained in a box
