Awakening
Vera Vandendries © [2005]





    Awakening




the eye of the cobra
  stares me squarely in the face
    seemingly until eternity
      burning in the fire of pain
        a white ash must remain
      and as my house
    slips slowly into the sea
  only then will i encounter
the depths unseen
  that moment is the beginning
    of the end
      of my dream



    TO REACH THE BEGINNING OF THE END
    IS THE MEANS TO IMMORALITY
