panacea

standing on the brink
both uplifted and thrown down
one atop the other
neither complete nor incomplete
visions triumphant and defiled
what awaits no man is come for us all
the last is soon to be left behind
the next carried as a weight upon the rest
without reason the fear has gripped them all
and wild beasts roam once more as men

require

the end requires
surrender
without question

divine

there is only the divine
working through us
nothing else exists

exist

to exist
requires compromise

knowledge

the accumulated knowledge
of a lifetime
stay fit

done

I can no longer read the letters
light is done
every night is ending me
what is the
reason there is light

write

the instant I write
everything goes crazy
