the white surrounds me and tears through me
stares through me
yet leaves me whole in body
the mind already broken
and you
you cut through the white and somehow I know that you are the absence of colour
instead of all the colours in one
and yet you are not only absolutely nothing
but everything
"welcome to my domain, you foolish human"
I realize suddenly
that I will never see Mother again
I cannot bring her back
no matter what
and trying
is the Ultimate Sin
this is what I have become
because the everything
the nothing
standing opposite
across the white
is Me.
