silent conclusion


To escape the loneliness

It would take some more than death:
Melting back in nothingness
Like in a bubble acid bath;
Let it dissolve all consciousness
And one by one all threads of thought,
All the ideas that have come to pass
And the empires they have wrought.
Fill my mind with emptiness
Instead of this whirlpool of illusion,
Bringing my self-celebrating mass
To a perfectly silent conclusion.
