The otherworld has beings like this,
these creatures of sunset and stardust.
They dwell beneath a crystalline sky with
no sun and no stars. On each exhale they
bloom with fluid rhythm, sinking slow, and
placid, and silent across infinity’s solemn gaze.
They drift through the ultramarine, trailing
tangling ribbons, sheets of silk, cloud foam
gossamer waves. Luminescence glows indelible
from translucent soul-bells. The world shudders,
entranced, by effortless grace of living.
