The Vestibuvagi

Their bodies span light years across

They drift quietly through space

The Vestibuvagi people are

A wise primeval race

Each a network of sentient stellar dust

Held together by magnetic force

Towards the birth of time from whence she came

Each one sets a solitary course

Aeons may pass without any encounter

Between two of these fellow beings

A Meeting, indeed, is the most divine thing

One could ever hope to see

They have only one way to communicate

They must pass through one another

For a moment two bodies unite into one

Now one being knows the other

In the end the beings must separate

And each one retakes her own course

But something within them has forever changed

They are not the same as before

For the moment their bodies coalesce

And they merge into a single being

The two Vestibuvagi become

Entangled quantumly

Now whatever one feels, the other feels

Every dream and thought is shared

Neither endless space nor eternal time

Can ever sever the pair

Entanglement can occur only once

In a Vestibuvagi's life

But one soul to share existence with

Is enough to endure time
