That man...

A green book lay on the table
A brown table it was –
Reflected in it was the book
Near, lay the reflection of
A clasped pair of hands –
Brown-skinned, with a gold watch
But the hands didn't carry up
To the torso; and in the rest
Was the white of the walls
Of a room with no windows,
No lights, no air –
As if nowhere, or nowhere
We know of –
The absolute nothingness of it...
Where ends bloodshed,
Where ends knowledge,
Where ends being human,
There, where is a vacuum
The ghastly black, where –
There is zero, but infinite;
There came a man
Pushed in by others –
And he came out
Carrying all back – nothing
And he blew a chill,
A tornado blew
And he stepped forth,
Earth separated
And he shouted,
Ears spewed blood
And that man swallowed hard,
The man collapsed – taking all,
To Oblivion...
