First, put yourself at the center
Of an imaginary cosmos.
Next, dwell on the wrongs you've suffered:
The wounds,
The injustices,
The slow and halting
Healing:
How could
You, on whom
All
Rests,
Be subjected to this?
Finally, live for the future
While dwelling inwardly
On the past.
Free of the
Bulging burden
Of the present,
You will become
Translucent,
Then transparent,
Until all that is left of you
Is a scar.
--Mr. Gobley
