Relics of an Inner Sphere

Hobbling toward the horizon,
a perspectival leap in store,
our nebulous longings
confuse the afterlife
with deified portals
to another world.

Attempts to grasp
the overarching entity,
doomed to infinite regress,
shape our days
to cratered relics
of an inner sphere.

Automatic yearners
plunder the scalar skies
for heavenly drops of delight,
but render only the furrows
of yet another fitted brow.
