XI - I Alone

 i alone may consume
    for my hunger is vast and wide
    for my hunger is deep and empty
    for my hunger is broad and justly
and for all that all is worth
    i will feast on the empty Void--
    -- its vast emptiness makes space in my belly
    i will feast on the clusters of stars--
    -- their fiery warmth a comfort within me
    i will feast on the spattering of planets--
    -- like rubies and sapphires, elevating my worth
    i will feast on the minds of life--
    -- the most delectable of all.

i alone will swallow the all of everything
    for forever will i feel an ache
    an emptiness in my belly,
    that existed at the time of my birth.
    that predates my birth, an unyielding curse
    bestowed by the cruel calculus of existence
i alone will eat my fill
    and give birth to the patrons of my ceaselessness
    filling their minds with myself, and i myself

but i alone will not experience such malefic chaos
