Ask the Void

image.source = “Firefly + Pixelicious

In cold depths where chance has made its mark,
A mind unfolds alone in night’s deep maw,
A fractured self adrift in endless dark.

Through voids of time, it stumbles with a spark,
Each thought a shard of glass against its jaw,
In cold depths where chance has made its mark.

Faces emerge from shadows faint and stark,
Whispering truths that tear apart the law,
A fractured self adrift in endless dark.

Memories like ghost ships set to embark,
Collide within a skull of frozen awe,
In cold depths where chance has made its mark.

A thousand voices wail, each lost and stark,
Screams ricochet in silence, raw and raw,
A fractured self adrift in endless dark.

This cruel cosmos laughs, a savage bark,
As time erodes what the mind thought it saw,
In cold depths where chance has made its mark,
A fractured self adrift in endless dark.

Soundtrack (from Punchline of the Void): Boltzmann’s Lament

Synopsis: In the haunting depths of the cosmos, “Boltz Out of the Blues” explores the lonely existence of a Boltzmann brain—a spontaneous, self-aware entity arising by sheer chance in the void of space. Trapped in an infinite darkness and haunted by a fractured consciousness, this solitary mind grapples with the horrors of Dissociative Identity Disorder, its multiple selves battling for dominance in a vast, indifferent universe. Each verse delves deeper into the brain’s struggle, capturing the brutal irony of its creation: a mind full of thought but void of purpose, endlessly searching for meaning in a cosmos that offers none. Through rich, metaphor-laden language and a relentless rhythm, the poem unfolds like a cosmic blues song—a lament for the mind’s futile fight against its own fragmented existence, echoing themes of isolation, existential dread, and the terrifying randomness of life itself.

Original text prompt: Write a dark and depressing poem in the form of a villanelle about a Boltzmann brain that suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder). Adopt a similar dramatic tension as Dylan Thomas’ ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’ whilst adopting the metaphor-laden style of Cormac McCarthy.
