13| While [swimming in the river][]
14| I saw [underneath it a river][]
15| of stars. Only there was no
16| river: it was noon. You can
17| say the sun is a river; you
18| can argue the stars back it
19| like [shirts behind a closet][]
20| door; you can say [the earth][]
21| holds us up with its weight
22| or that it means well or it
23| means anything.
24| There is no
25| closet, [nor door][]; there are
26| no shirts hanging anywhere.
27| There is no false wall that
28| leads deep into the earth's
29| bowels, [growing warmer][] with
30| each step. Warmth as a con-
31| cept has ceased to make any
32| sense. In contraposition to
33| cold, it might, but cold as
34| well [stepped out][] last night
35| and hasn't returned.
36| Last I
37| heard, it went out swimming
38| and [might've drowned][]. Trees
39| were the pallbearers at the
40| funeral, the train was long
41| and wailful, there was much
42| [wailing and gnashing][] of all
43| teeth--though there were no
44| teeth, no train, no funeral
45| or prayer or trees at all--
46| nor a [river underneath][] any-
47| thing. There was nothing to
48| be underneath anymore.
49| Look
50| around, and tell me you see
51| something. Look around, and
52| tell me something that I do
53| not know. I know, more than
54| anything, that the world is
55| always ending. Behind that,
56| there is nothing, save that
57| there is no nothing either.
58|
59| Nothing somehow still turns
60| and flows past us, past all
61| time and beyond it, a river
62| returning, to its forgotten
63| origins deep within itself.
