as the imperious,
obscures the vast
this waking life
sunlit sky
obscures the vast
networks of a
needless astronomy,
this waking life
too, is a mere
obfuscation
of your groundless
but illimitable capacity
to lack.
No tricks; it does
not matter where
you have been, since,
everywhere
the black space of
nothingness tingles,
existence's
white pulses throttle,
and hum.
As all
that you know
is slowly dissolved,
you grow to see
the wide open
vacuum behind:
a possibility
which seemed to exist
at one time—
was, all the while,
a necessity
always.
