Primary Truth

How do you crave?
To be, or to exist
not at all.
My mind often desires
to stretch itself
out to its full length,
as I wish to
reform my very core
into a shape
entirely unrecognizable.
In this separation
do I connect myself
to something apart,
or is it insensible –
a wasteful endeavor?
It could be salvation,
the one action
that can bring
the Mariana Trench
to the surface
where I will stare at it
as one would a mirror;
externalizing the self,
eternalizing the flesh.
