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.
