A palimpsest. Yeats poem The second coming introduces outright the notion of the widening gyre and suggests that things fall apart. According to Hindu cosmology we exist in the Kali Yuga, the outer most ring of the gyre where things are indeed falling apart, as the Goddess prepares to collect the remnants of the sacrifice and begin anew the cycle. Kali the black one, one who eats her husband, Mother of Apocalypse, shiny, black, and widowed.
