Imagine a painting,
but instead of having colors or images
it was filled with emptiness.

When you saw it
all sight and sound were put below
on a hierarchy of needs.

As you reached to
feel the density of the of the canvas, you felt no barrier
between your skin and the air.

Your unknowing contact
with this image upon the barren wall continues to remove
your sense to taste or smell.

Sensory deprivation has been achieved.
You no longer have any feelings except for your thoughts,
which are rendered useless without stimulation.

In the piercing lonesome,
you are left to create new memories in your mind;
Some of them kindle the past.

The majority of them are ideas
that you have never seen before; they can only be described
as works of evil.
