Consciousness
Consciousness floats in virtual air
like a weightless golden pear
the body imagines with its blood.
Consciousness is absolutely
absurd, partly because it
can reason. Not least of all,
intuition forms an illuminating
shadow. In closing, let us
pray, and let us note
that prayer is one way consciousness
expresses its hope that it's not
talking only to itself.
