Lesson 14

Through that window — all else being extinct —
there is a warped
————————— world
————————————-wrapped
—————————————————in a flimsy foil
begging to be pulled, but are your hands
strong enough to do so? Are your eyes
ready to bare a truth surmised
though false?
———————Is the animal inside you ready to be
God?
———Can you cut open your heart and remove
every muscle meant to keep you human, then
tie the one piece around your neck,
like a noose, demanding of your breath
to cease, as it is a gift of existing, and
you don’t want to anymore.
——————————————-You want more.
No Adam No Eve — Only a knife to cleave
creation, and turn the pen that writes
existence backwards: to hold it.
