DREAM LOGIC

As sure 
as the imperious, 
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.
