subconscious thoughts ~ dark and deep
as a quarry pond at midnight ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~moon eclipsed ~ stars burnt out ~
supernovas that were an event horizon
eons ago ~~~~~ trepidatious footsteps ~~
they echo dankly as pebbles fall into
oblivion ~~~ no ripples ~~~~
~~~ water like molasses ~~~
consuming them utterly
far far far far under
the surface lie
the entities
which
need
no

light*

this

way
