360 Degrees
When I look about me,
Make a 360-degree revolution around myself,
My being is nowhere to be found.
In its space, its empty plenum,
Is whatever's left
When everything else goes dead:
No breath, heartbeat, thoughts, dreams,
Just dust accumulating on shadows,
Shadows hanging upside down,
In absolute blackness,
Blackness turning into stalactites
Dripping from oblivion's ceiling,
Forming the catalyst for memory's dissolve,
Its shattering into pools of silence,
Silence drowning in itself.
Now, when I look about me,
I see 360 degrees of my nonbeing
Rotating counterclockwise, erasing time.
