Abyss
Think of eternity

      let the cold winds take you back,

      far back to their origins in unknown pits,

      abysses unknown even to God...

Feel the absolute;

      let the darkness seize you;

      wash through your shrinking brain,

      lost in abysmal silence...

Experience the ultimate;

      let the night devour you

      and realize that light is unreal

      and never did exist...

                                                 August 9, 1970
