The Art of Exhaustion

To sink adroitly into it –
to part with conscious sentience
as completely as you can –
must surely offer

some illuminating chance
to gain at least
a glance –
a glimpse –

a tiny understanding –
of the lure
of what you’ll
blink at

in the darkness
of the final dive.
To think in that abyss –
be that exhausted and alive!

What might you
uncover
and bring back –
if you revive?
