you entered the void
so long ago
that your skin smells of it
and your feet bruise from it
.
you entered the void
and still enter, every day
and every drop of light
illuminates your path
devoid of night
devoid of stars
.
you entered the void
and don’t even see anymore
that it fills your lungs
a blueish smoke
and only sometimes
recall the void
you’ve walked through
for a whole life
.
you disappear. the void claimed you
it is the law, and no loopholes
are to be found:
the void unraveled you
long-haired child
nurtured, and cared for you
for a while
and nobody reclaimed you
and nobody demanded you
.
you’ve been raised by the void
and now you legally belong
to it
you’ve been raised by the void
and you dissolve
into the void
leaving a stone, a mark
and an hollering shriek
.
leaving a stone, a mark
and an hollering shriek
