HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING

Perhaps
it actually
isn't that abstract—

you look out
and see your own
ignorance

rippling
through anyplace
you don't exist.

The edges
between you
and it

glint—so sharp
and sheer
they could cut anything

living
logical
or symbolic

to shreds
so subtle as to be
impossible

to grasp at all
meaningfully as—back
from the dead.
