Let Go, Vanish

The goal
always is that I
will disappear
from the poem.

The goal, always,
is that I see the poem
for what it is: the Being
beyond this being,

and always the goal
is that I am to push it
ruthlessly forth
so that when it appears

it will
always be
without me
visible by its side.

Let go. Vanish,
I always say. I fail often,
succeed rarely.
I keep trying,

hoping always that one day
I will disappear entirely
into one, lay down the pen,
and know that as a good ending.
