nothingness sinking
originally written 04.10.03

light breaks through the window
but i feel no warmth--
i feel nothing, in fact.
cold air is absent around me.
nothingness has manifested
an envelope surrounding me
physically and spiritually.
this nothingness has become
all that i am--
i am nothing,
an empty vessel...
floating in a sea
heading nowhere fast,
sinking slowly...
and no one will ever know
when i hit the ocean floor.
