Into The Void

You

before whom

I unmask myself

dancing naked

to your lone spectator

spewing forth

my tortured lines

to your lone audience

To what end

this absurd theatre?

an applause for my act?

but I act not

a contrived script

a critique of my farce?

but this is my very life

a promise to grace

another performance?

but even now

I wonder why you honour

this dreary show.

I

the one saddled with

this unending puzzle

seeking answers

to questions

I know not

a lone performer

to your lone audience

but when

the curtain falls

say not a word…

…embrace the darkness.

(Inspired by the song “Into the void” by Black Sabbath)
