Cube Deposit

we're looking at this huge deposit
where the cubes are millimetrically placed
juxtaposing one by one with no space left
so the columns are rising uniformly
until they almost reached the ceiling
soon a new column is raised in the same way
completing rows and lines and series
advancing the amounts from the back
until gradually occupying all the spaces
finally reaching the top 
when all columns are filled
the door closes automatically
then we will look at a huge empty deposit
where the cubes will be millimetrically placed
juxtaposing one by one with no space left
and so it goes on forever and ever

This poem seems almost architectural to me...i.e., the columns "completing rows and lines and series...." The final thought is infinity, which I'm assuming is not achievable, or are you writing about "a focal point?" Very good writing!

in fact I intended to write CUBE in a 'constructivist' way, when I wrote this poetry what came to my mind were Poe's words about Raven's creation, which combined technique with other elements for poetic construction. I couldn't get there, of course... I also tried to reproduce a feeling of listening to industrial-style rock.
