the gods we fear to notice

The thought that pricks
The velvet cloth of the real;

The prick that turns to fire
within – the riotous discharge.

Observe from both ends:
The timeless limiting point,

like a volley of muskets enclosing
the field of inevitable death,

where what remains
are the gods we fear to notice.
