The Vanishing Point

crystal clear sky and waters combine
when thin mountain air rests in stillness
diffusing lake waters calm to liquid mirror
as boundaries between sky and water dissolve
the real sky and its reflection evaporate to ether
regular worlds transform into upside-down reality
in life is found other thin vanishing points—when
either your digital virtual reality appears as real
or your living reality dissolves into ethers of
the virtual—both conditions are extremely
frightening—especially if you recognize
you are vanishing in each dark mirror
