The impossible truth
You search for it but never find it
since it is unfathomable in its vastness,
inescapable in cruelty and realism,
unconquerable in inestimableness
and utterly horrendous,
since there is no greater enemy of poetry
than truth, reality and facts.
Still, you can't help going for it,
burning up and out yourself on it
in some strange self-destructive urge
to just consume yourself
in the extremest most impossible of quests,
to learn what all this really is about.
