Hollowness

softly walking along the shoreline

of our mental discoveries, we

splash through subconsciousness

as if it were imprisoned in our will,

carelessly opening up its arms

like those of a lover who cannot

receive enough satisfaction...

clearly denied is our understanding

of that which we don't understand

or that which we want to understand;

we tetter on the brink of extension

yet are calm about our hollowness.
