Deidentification

That landscape I've become
Where we bleed together
And the earthen gouges where
Water struck deep
Reveal a deeper self
Peel back that fabric
Slough the layers away
Until no abstractions remain
When there's nothing left between
My core and the world’s
Who am I?

I peer into nothing
But I can't see it
Some light oozes through still
What lies beyond?

A shimmering abyss
Is not bottomless
It’s a chance to turn around
There’s still sky above us
