Mundus plenus monstrorum

Parietes odium spirantes

Tranquillus manendum

Et continuandum

Vanitas vanitatum,

Et omnia vanitas

Hic nil diu durabit

Nether after deathless nether

Abyss underneath fathomless abyss

Count your blessings

As long as there still is

A “you” to get upset

I’ve been sinking for so long

That “up” is no more

Than a crumbling memory

Abyss

Abyss underneath fathomless abyss

So devoid of soul

Even fungus turns away

In loathing of what’s left

No photon has ever strayed

To where blackness itself

Becomes a blinding light

Time and mind

Eaten alive

Dissolve

Reduced to a tumorous hole

I’ve been rotting for so long

That “I” has faded

To a mere threadbare nexus

Of vacuous woe

A universe crushed below

A multitude of universes

Past and future

Mangled in the bottomless void

Of an annihilated presence

Death - a relic of happier times
