Until

A familiar shadow
Often taunts me, though I
Never see it coming

It calls itself Soul, and
In this awkward stillness my
Anomalous resistance to

Natural order bends into
Self-transparency where I flirt
With peripheries of neural

Expanses amid the
Piercing silence as Soul
Demands my presence

Inside concealed depths to
My heightened consciousness
And I am left depleted by

The saltatory acuteness of
Discrete energies, I hear Soul
Whisper, until next time

“We must not accept the proposition that a relationship with a government, political organization, religion, belief system, corporation, geographical border, or even family constitutes an irreducible primary. The irreducible primary is the human species, and this fact is firmly established by the unique composition and determinative influences of human beings relative to all that exists.”
