“Dark Matter” by Troika
I am timeless
and massive
unseen but
all present
immune to
your physics
unfazed by
your light
entertained
by your blunt
metaphysics
I feed you
sustain you
surround you
absorb all
your darkness
your blackness
the worst of
your thoughts
and your words
said and done
now a part of me
oh but am I
so much more
beyond ken
and conception
all manifestation
of things
you are not
they are me
you have virtue
and beauty
mortality
weakness
and guilt
while it’s me
who owns
everything else
in this world
there are only
the two of us
we are that
binary substance
irrational
lopsided twins
of existence
the pair of us
zero sum actors
enacting reality
made from
our opposite flesh
mine so vast
yours so small
and yet you
you alone
are my reason
my purpose
without you
at last I am
nothing at all
Your posts that include some science are really dear to me, you nailed it with Dark Matter

I re-read your poem and it further penetrated the darkness. Your words are a David to Dark Matter’s Goliath.
