It happens
when one wants it most not to. A gap
a sliver
a c h a s m of the deepest, the darkest, the most unfathomable
blackness.

open in a matter of milliseconds
its lips sneaking up under unsuspecting toes. They

on the thorny outcropping of the
blackness
as if there were jagged teeth.
It closes then.
It leaves only an ugly scar to remind that something has indeed transpired
although the information of what exactly
is lacking.
It happens in an instant
this gap this sliver
this c h a s m of the deepest, the darkest, the most unfathomable
blackness.
