Hole Inside the Hole
The hole inside the hole is incomplete
Is empty
Exceeding all expectations
It is not there in any way shape or form
Not even a wall to narrow the circumference
Or accompany it into the nothingness that is
Doubling down the nothing in a void
It never really was
Emptied out over endless falls
Of possibilities of what could be
Going on to stop the going on
Looking for a spirit in all things
Sounds echo one way down the hall of time
Return like frightened children
Out of breath
No breath to speak of
Not really there to begin with is surmised
Light passing through as if
Something were to come of it
Perhaps that would suffice if it were there
But in the end
Just like the end
It is not really bending light to see
The void is not the enemy
It is simply more emptying into empty
A long hole inside a lonely hole
With nothing to hold on to
Pouring out its soul
Hello!...The echo is closed
Never to be heard
Falling to tomorrow
Never to return
*Authors note: The author apologizes if it appears as if he is digging too deep a hole. He assures you that he has the best intentions at heart and is innocent as a new born baby....maybe...
