ENQUIRY ON THE UNKNOWN

A brand new vacancy stilled deeply inch by inch

Seeds of uncovered confusion ramified;

Following the tangled roots of the visionary plants

Retiring visually

And retreating gradually.

No, not with the go-betweens

And dissatisfying make-believes;

I need to snatch out the truth myself,

Which I always willed to seize:

Not with the futile pleadings neither;

That’d be asking too much for me

To bear another failure.

Then I saw people tracing to the abyss

Of their living hopes once kept vague

But all the lights are switched off to blindness,

Convincing them well enough

To consent their pointless sombreness;

Therein I got to know you only for once

But I have loved you twice:

One for the promised felicity

The other remains obscure,

Delating the hollow in me.

Nothing seems to disabuse me wide awake

Of this ever-lasting self-recurring daydream

Or relieve me of heaviness of the fretting questions:

So reticence is now another expedient that I am faking,

Since speech only compels one to a sure forsaking.
