VI
A hostile world lurks out there
just beyond his cave’s entrance
with its four conditioned ends
with all the random dread.
Solitary silence, marching and
reenacting in his psyche as
a flock of geese draws a path
in the arms of the bluish
chromatism and the four
tragic ends emerge
demolishing the troglodyte’s rest:
end of a meal
end of a day in peace
end of a mind at peace
end of a life unexpectedly;
comprehending the
incomprehensible end
always comes uninvited
always comes unexpectedly
always comes inexorably
and mostly suddenly
the most importantly, the end of life
and this hymn’s terminus.
