The Silence Beyond Eden
In night's dream, the surrealist
trespassed a red planet,
watched endoparasitoid
extraterrestrials—
deep in rapt discussion.
Suddenly, the xenomorph cluster
bolted toward the red-stone hill.
At once, in the void's wild jockey,
aliens pierced the planet's veil—
descended fierce, no herald's cry,
pulse rifles blazing hellfire trails.
Predatory beasts, with fangs agleam,
recoiled from the electric storm;
cosmic clash where shadows scream,
invaders claim the savage form.
The surrealist, astonished, gapes
at the fierce fray of clashing kin—
two species locked in savage shapes,
pulse-fire scars where shadows spin.
He cloaks in vanishing jacket's hush,
a phantom weave of ether's sigh,
watches aliens seize the king-predator's crush,
hoist the beast to starlit sky.
They vanish—swallowed by their world's bend,
perhaps to throne it in alien rite.
He muses: the same grim custom trends
on every orb in endless night.
