To Speak Away from Speaking

To step off the ledge
Of comprehension
Into the thin space

That cannot hold you.
You are not falling.
You do not believe

You are falling. You
Are not suspended.
The ground is not there

Yet, and it will not
Matter once it is.
You are not speaking.

You are not taking
Leave in ongoing
Removal of thoughts

That you first thought of,
You first asserted.
You are not these words

Which aren’t what they mean,
Which can never be
Truth, apoplectic,

Apologetic,
Nonapophatic.
Don’t say it. Don’t. No.
