the chasm 2013

cave exploration

into the thing

it makes us go

we are diving into the murky deep

and can only hear breath and

rock is speaking

dripping

forming

top to bottom

deep in there

drips and echoes and rock

plunging deeper into the thing

it is both       frightening &

                …informative

but ah

the heart of this matter

was the absence

of: the aforementioned

    wicked green grin

curled

confessing no love

or heart

is this the chasm?

is there a bottom?

it falls from your sole

and we hear no sound

but forming deposits
