is it possible to oil a shadow ?
to slickly soak the blank smoothness,
indulge in the curious essence of
the divine void divide…
been ruminating on & in the shadows
of how they’re not quite holes (maybe that
i provide) but still, still, still
an absence…
& lastly, how it could be true—
well, now, if thinking wishfully—
that perhaps the dark could slot right in,
eclipse this slant-shaped beam of mine.
