The Abyss

The Abyss

Suspended in a vertiginous shaft of bottomless space
A space at once claustrophobic and infinite
Mind, body, and space conflate
Bathed in a pool of warm blue light

He clenches his fists in anguish
Mouth agape in a silent scream

The future is the past
And the past is but a mirror of illusions
Haunting memories
In the dark abyss of his mind

-W.W. Hung
