-

Aching nothing, fecund in its wallow

Without font, without face

Unblinking eye – one thousand snakes

enthroned annulment entombed alive

utterly dense - wholly empty

Eternal before and after the flash of form

+

I am the light defining all things.

I create both the visible and unseen.

You are defined by my lack.

Deepest well still holds my glow

+

You have no form nor substance nor inverse

A blank mirage within a nether meter

Encumbered by lack, adrift in absence

I blaze on all with meaning flooded pure

-

You are the Shadow of what you seek

+

Nothing simply is Not.

By its virtue it has no Being

Not presence nor silence, it cannot be spoken

It neither can nor can not be.

-

When matter’s specter haunts naught

Then nothing shall reign.

Limitless the pure substance of absence

Emptiness violates even the impenetrable.

+

My light never dies.

Matter alone fuels my ascent

Before or without me is nothing

And even that contains my light.

-II

Mirror’s face alone is nothing

To choose divides the ancient union

One grays into the other

And between all the world is born again

-

Ambiguity’s shadow noose slaughtering stars

Gasping for light

Voided by Totality
