I Saw No Way the Heavens Were Stitched - meaning Summary
Cosmic Perception and Isolation
The speaker describes a sudden, intimate encounter with the cosmos that dissolves ordinary structures and boundaries. They feel the heavens and earth shift, as if touching the whole universe, then witness it withdraw. Left alone, the speaker becomes a tiny point on the planet’nd drifts to a marginal circumference "beyond the dip of Bell," emphasizing dislocation, vulnerability, and the alien perspective of existing at the world’s edge.
