The Dot
The Dot - .
The dot “.” Cousin to the comma ,
With no others
Almost nothing
Being on the line
To stop things
To stop everything
From escaping or getting lost to the void
Friend to sentences
Placed in existence by a pen or pencil point
They are a point
They are the point
Essence turned to form
So pure and unique
Black dot against white paper
Going by the name of “period”
Almost out of sight
Something very small and tiny
That fits right here “.”
