a hole stood up, & sealed off--

thin as a glancing blow of

sideways.

a black poka dot that fell flat

on deep space again.

the face plant of an arch.

sort of like a slinky taking

a linear step.

reopening & consuming

significantly more of unsaid

space.

you would never know.

as would a white moth

disintegrating against electric

red inners, like confected

sugar.
