I
They say a firm numbness grips the body:
That is homogeneity. Sameness throughout,
Electrifying the senses and limbs.
The lurch of knowing, unlike most,
Exactly when you will die.
It is efficient, if successful.
As mysterious as the birthing gasp of first existence,
Standing at Styx and choosing to swim
Rather than wait for Charon.
II
"Whence Duty? Whence the obligation to persist?"
They are in the suicides.
When I eat the nourishing atoms,
drink the nourishing atoms,
I remember the sacrifices
heroic sacrifices
gossiped, anathemic sacrifices
that gird action toward a localized heaven.
For every noose, a Messiah.
