#An exegesis on the Seduction of Avoidance
Abandonment of hope seeks company.
It spreads itself by persuasion,
training others to unlearn the expectation
that anything lost might still be restored.
The claim of silence installs itself as law:
*no voice above,
no discovery ahead,
no gain in seeking,
no cost in surrender.*
This is collapse disguised as realism.
Not testimony.. transmission.
The chorus that affirms it is not convinced;
it is relieved.
"Agreement" absolves each one
from remembering a time
they believed in something more.
Surrender renames itself wisdom
so that the thought of return
can be evicted without a struggle.
Then the last defense is built:
light is not denied.. it is relocated
into the self, or the bloodstream,
chemistry rebranded as transcendence,
so that no higher source must be admitted.
Thus envy is quieted:
if all brightness is self-made,
no one stands condemned by the existence
of a greater flame they have refused.
In this way, the erasure advances--
not by proof,
but by repetition..
until absence is narrated so completely
that few dare imagine it could ever break.
Yet the telling of what is true
is already a fracture in that spell;
***.. for truth does not persuade the dark;
it exposes it.***
