Lord Krishna, The Bare | B o a N R II

Lord Krishna, The Bare | B o a N R II

I met a creature from a distant system,

Who said- "Somewhere in the periphery of the Neptune Desert,

Stands a naked planet, orbiting a star... Nestled in the bow of

Centaurus, the planet drifts, exposed, bare,, its heart revealed

To the Dark Expanse of the Cosmos. Mayhap its skin and flesh were

Ravaged and torn against the onslaught of Astral Tides.

Mayhap the womb of Creation never thought to grant its covering.

If one looks upon its smooth surface, 3 lines can be found imperfectly etched:

I am Lord Krishna, Destroyer of Worlds; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains, Impermanence is thy undoing.

Round the decay of that colossal Body, boundless and bare, the lone and level Tides drift far away.
