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.
