at the bottom of the bottom of creation


how can one aspire to enlightenment

when all one has known

is the darkest part

of the bottom of this pit

we call the world


and the Light is the opening of this hole

so far above that one can only

postulate a legend about it

and worse...to be punished for not

finding one's own way out


ignoring one's own imaginings?

what will one ever think but that

there is no love or grace or mercy or forgiveness in Reality?
