Deleted Words

deleted words

you might note 
the following blank lines
in which several words 
are now deleted..
perhaps..


or words
 in this space
were never written 
perhaps..
nevertheless
the space
expresses the only
surety we can know..
it indefinitely flows
and enlarges into
wide margins we notice..
the space has retained 
the secret of words
which did or did
not play..
and the words
if they played
day or night  
 played as space
eternally white...
