I watched... From mountains of spirit, Where gods claim the universe. I watched... As life lingered in sordid desperation. My hidden, true form Became a mask of solitude A prodigal reflection Of human depreciation Utter isolation approaching nirvana. Beckoning me to my womb... Back to the earth The end arrives peacefully – with silent finality So swift, across cons Not even legend remained. Streams of pain descend Like purifying waters In this hideous bliss – I taste the last of vitality
