Renascence
Donna McKevitt
I screamed, andlo!Infinity
Came down and settled over me
Forced back my scream into my chest
Bent back my arm upon my breast
And, pressing of the Undefined
The definition on my mind,
Held up before my eyes a glass
Through which my shrinking sight did pass
Until it seemed I must behold
Immensity made manifold
Whispered to me a word whose sound
Deafened the air for worlds around,
And brought unmuffled to my ears
The gossiping of friendly spheres,
The creaking of the tented sky,
The ticking of Eternity.
