One Thing

Like a sentence,

which can be just one word;

Like the owner of the house,

who cleans the dust so he can feel it is respectable:

I am made of one thing.

And I clean off the dust as if every dirt were mine.

And I clean myself (because I feel I’m mine) as if am cleaning away all disillusions.

The sentence, which is just one word,

Purifies (without reason) the dust, my face, His house.

Disintegrating illusions,

there is no more face,

dust,

nothing to be cleaned.

One word like this melts away any idea that I exist as a person.

He gave me a house.

That’s all I am certain of.

When the person disappears

The house is full.

The word marries the sentence: Love.

"It is perfectly possible — indeed, it is far from uncommon — to go to bed one night, or wake up one morning, or simply walk through a door one has known all one’s life, and discover, between inhaling and exhaling, that the self one has sewn together with such effort is all dirty rags, is unusable, is gone: and out of what raw material will one build a self again? The lives of men — and, therefore, of nations — to an extent literally unimaginable, depend on how vividly this question lives in the mind. It is a question which can paralyze the mind, of course; but if the question does not live in the mind, then one is simply condemned to eternal youth, which is a synonym for corruption."
