Imaginary Places

far from this universe

exists a place,

where utopian

underwater thoughts,

quiet concentration,

lack of breath

and cold clear water,

unlike these muddy currents

yet holding us,

do not call up wars

for dominion

over orchards of strangers.

in that perfection

live beings

who, naked,

without law,

without food,

water, breath,

live in a pale light of death

that marks an end

of all days
