It’s interesting to stare into the heart of the flame,

To be enraptured within its finality, enthralled in its beautiful destruction.

The crackles and smoke of decaying permanence reflecting the chaotic symphony,

The cacophonous sound around you.

The foolish ignorance. The scolding rage of seething

Emptiness within submersion.

Language cannot determine madness or comprehend in a logical state of mind what

Insanity truly is. There is never enough room for comprehensibility.

Never enough

Vowels,

Consonants,

Moments.

Never enough

Logic.

So,

Wielding its throat as an axe, it breaks down its own door.

The body, a battering ram, to crash into its own being, into its own soul. Forming a hole

So deep, so visceral, so all-consuming, that even the light, a guide, begins to disappear

Within the implosion of self and understanding. Lesions and fractures force itself to concave

And crumble under the leaden weight of its own misunderstanding,

Its own psychosis.

A porous tear.

An eviscerated dignity.

Language cannot comprehend the moment when a meteor hits and the world is evaporated into

Nothingness.

Without a core,

Without a structure,

Without humanity.
