The Dark Abyss

He found what he was looking for,
   his shadow turned inside out

He moved beyond prescriptive cure,
  all questioning and doubt

He left the future-past behind,
  silhouette of all he’d missed

Impregnating the moment within himself
 —to light the dark abyss

(Winston Salem, North Carolina: October, 2017)
