the hole keeps digging itself deeper
but there seems to be nothing inside–
the earth has been removed–
is there even air?
there seems to be nothing inside–
no one remembers anything but absence–
is there even air?
no signs or explanation
no one remembers anything but absence,
solid in a way that can only be felt–
no signs or explanation–
we have given it no name
solid in a way that can only be felt,
it has taken everything–
we have given it no name
and yet we keep returning to it
it has taken everything,
trapped us in its invisible poison net–
and yet we keep returning to it
looking for nothing
trapped in its invisible poison net
deeper deeper the blackness grows–
finding nothing,
exposing more of what isn’t
deeper deeper the blackness grows–
the earth has been removed
exposing more of what isn’t–
our holes keeps digging themselves deeper
Anmol at dVerse has us thinking about blackness.

We do create a void wherever we dig. Maybe because we don’t know what we’re digging, what we expect to find, or what to do with what we do find. In the dark.

Always digging, when we should be finding a way out. Is it even possible to climb out, anymore?
