Hamlet’s Last Soliloquy
The dark sky illuminated by the glowing labyrinth
Conceals her truth by the cover of an onerous mist.
Sinking deeper yet as the dark and tepid absinthe
Floods down through the pharynx, I cannot resist.
The rock and I become one and the same,
The contorted maze convolutes to reveal duality.
Will the intellectual succumb to the beastial flame?
Or can my only human eyes mirror this mentality?
Travelling further now, through this stony illusion
Connecting instinct with reason – the clouds clear
The lunar light seeps through glassy eyes by diffusion
Splintering my barricade like a permeating spear.
The truth at last, through mere meditation on the brain,
Life and death: equivalently exchanged, never to wake again.
