Where did you come from?
What have you done?
What have you learned?
How bad were you burned? Was it worth it?
What do you know?
What do you have to show for it?
Where will you go from here?
What will you share?
Will your seed bear fruit with juice sweet to drink
or stink like disease and rot beyond repair?
Do you care?
Who'll receive it?
Who'll take the reins when you recede?
Will they repeat it?
The veil's passed, no need to look back.
You can't put out the fire but you can feed it.
Dice roll underneath your skull.
The body wasn't built to keep a secret.
Your mind has made it this far,
now it plunges into the aether.
Emerge from the cave and embark,
the next drop is bound to be deeper.
Remember your epiphanies, family histories,
ancient mysteries, make a list of these
things of import like signposts on the road
whose languages change and shift as you go.
Shoulda known better.
Coulda made a plan.
Now you're on the fence with a scale in your hand
and a gavel. Beat it like a mallet on your ribcage.
Start your heart up on the rampage.
Wisdom if you want it, gold upon the shore.
Work and unlearn your tongue swung like a sword.
Listen. Your mind's closed like a fist.
Listen.
Flake upon flake, grain upon grain.
Feel the funnel drip like an hourglass rain.
Endless hints drop down like the twigs we collected.
Take one, snap it in half and inspect it.
Everything we think is reflected.
Everything we think we know is only guesses.
Look the funnel in the eye and believe it.
Can you be trusted with a secret?
The veil's passed, no need to look back.
You can't put out the fire but you can feed it.
Dice roll underneath your skull.
The body wasn't built to keep a secret.
Now burn the twig to complete it.
Burn the twig to complete it.
