I wrote an extended review for this piece in my restack just now, but to reiterate here, I think this piece is very successful cosmic horror for one key reason: you've captured the despair and hopelessness of trying to oppose forces beyond our understanding.

You captured the moment here perfectly, as your poetry often does. As far as I'm concerned, it's another Mina Howell classic! 👏

You guys are seriously so kind - I think it's a hard concept for me to grasp because I can't rationalize it and it makes me uneasy lol.

I guess that's kind of the point though?

The way you’re feeling is precisely how the reader should feel when reading cosmic horror.

So yes, you’re on the right track, haha.
