An End

.

Primal light, dark flame –

something other than a heart

beats in his frame –

something more than life

.

contaminates and animates.

We see A lead to B to C

and on to Z in him but

some enigma branches out

.

and casts a spell: the code

bodes neither ill nor well, but

hints at something swelling

out of sight. Everything is

.

obvious, he says, and we agree

that everything about him

is quite obviously hidden,

unlike anything we know

.

or think or see, enough

to keep us furiously alert,

and curious. Obliquely,

in the dark, he winnows us

.

through corridors and brings

us to a door through which

he tells us is the view.

But something stops us, then,

.

from walking through.

But he’ll walk through.

That won’t bring the end,

but it will bring an end to you.
