YOUR REAL ADVENTURE
to lose the madness
you must let go
of all the things
you tell yourself
you ought to be
you must die
to all artifice
forsake
every false display
these conversations
you’ve been having
are not yours
you were made
for other words
your whole body
weeps with it
this unbearable absence
this distant ache
this holy summoning
to your real adventure
your mistake
has been to believe
you have no choice
just go
follow the scent
of your secret desire
come by way
of the wild paths
where the free air
still burns
go far
into that forbidding
landscape
then ask: Who are you?
and be that.
