Without-6

This is the death of sights.

As if inside a Stan Brakhage film

A burning film negative

Staring beyond

This is the death of stares

Stairs of the past

Walking on ladders

Burning through the filter

I at long last see

This is the death of burning

Everywhere throws up

A dying image

Or dead better still

As many years

Undone in words

As many

Or lesser still

This is the death of words
