YOUR REAL ADVENTURE

YOUR REAL ADVENTURE



to lose the madness

you must let go

of all the things

you tell yourself

you ought to be


you must die

to all artifice

forsake

every false display


these conversations

you’ve been having

are not yours

you were made

for other words


your whole body

weeps with it

this unbearable absence

this distant ache

this holy summoning

to your real adventure


your mistake

has been to believe

you have no choice


just go


follow the scent

of your secret desire

come by way

of the wild paths

where the free air

still burns


go far

into that forbidding

landscape

then ask: Who are you?


and be that.
