Fracture in eternity - fine as a hairline crack.
	So slight and lost against the great expanse.
Slight gap through which the lost are lost,
	a steady seepage, as drips from a faucet leaking.

Slow force by which I'm drawn to its escape,
	to be freed unnoticed through an unknown space.
Left unguarded to my soft effuse,
	then let go from here through this
		- fracture in eternity.

One of those few - unlooked upon,
	one of those - the dogs - amongst the men.
Weakended of our will, cleansed of our faded grace,
	huddled we collect,
		aside this fracture in eternity.

What an other path, this one not really seen.
	What an other kind, us of this lost and been.
Our spent remains exhausted from the mass
	and filtered to the bottom
		to where, the fracture in eternity.

What causes there to be
	this fracture in eternity?
What force so struck a blow
	as to rend to two from all?

What shock could strike so hard?
	What pain inflict so sharp a score
as to drive a seam into the seamless
	and so divide the indivisible?

Some climax of imbalance bred
	through eons of greed's discontent
struck viciously our polished shell -
	the great container's fine membrane,
		that holds us all as one.

Or just - perhaps - the faintest fault, grown wild with time
	a spin, that's out of kilter - so slightly
but magnified by our sheer speed, till then...
	the wheel falters from its mad turn
		and rives the finest socket.

Somehow is born the hairline crack -
	the fracture in eternity,
where living sediment collects, to seep
	and trickle out into some void
		- some space outside eternity.

A space where we are left to drift
	sifted from those worthy of grace,
and not thought of more than those sands
	too great to even join us here.

No light cast in our stead,
	none shed to call our plight.
Nor caught in sight, the realm we tread,
	sunk in the shadow of the wealthy.

Bankrupted by their greed for all
	all of our contents spent by them
to leave us nothing more than shells
	and from the greatest shell, expunged.

All we are left is evidence - yet now erased -
	of their great crime against the one
the one they slashed to slip us through
	the fracture in eternity.
