shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie is a competing cache

The blackness he woke to on those nights was
sightless and impenetrable. A blackness to hurt your ears with
listening. Often he had to get up. No sound but the wind in the
bare and blackened trees. He rose and stood tottering in that cold
autistic dark with his arms outheld for balance while the
vestibular calculations in his skull cranked out their reckonings.
An old chronicle. To seek out the upright. No fall but preceded by
a declination. He took great marching steps into nothingness,
counting them against his return. Eyes closed, arms oaring. Upright
to what? Something nameless in the night, lode or matrix. To which
he and the stars were common satellite. Like the great pendulum in
its rotunda scribing through the long day movements of the universe
of which you may say it knows nothing and yet know it
must.
