When you behold yourself,
you have seen all that you need to see,
and you no longer exist within yourself as an X
that compels you towards a Y in the eyes of others.
And when you stand before yourself,
there is no one left within you —
only God’s place of all creation.
God’s place is a single negative
drawn from countless positives;
it is affirmed by two —
emerging from plus-minus equals zero —
into a singular darkness of nothingness
that conditions everything —
like the darkness surrounding lit lamps.
