The big door Operates, finally, In hurtle-block mode, A big mash, Annihilation. A blank allgong Hammering a silence Labeled infinity. The shark's stomach has you. You are one With the forgotten chocolates, With the neglected can of broken beans, With the graphite slick In the lock which no longer opens. The sound of the big door slamming Is a zero which chronicles eternity. |
