Inkling

It may look like death
when someone breaks through the skin
of the world, of the dream —
they may seem to fall out of it
and others may mourn

It’s only when you look closely
at the hole they made,
when, for a moment,
you see the light streaming in,
you might get the inkling
there’s something beyond this shell,
you might start trying
to learn what it is.
