no•thing~ness

Caught
in the chain space,
living
an interstitial race;
the hole in the donut,
the space between letters,
the grout in the tiles
holding
emptiness
together.

A vertical gap
between breadth,
deep
silent musical rests.

Aposiopesis, caesura, nothing
but nothing
depicts nothing
-ness
best.

Words
so cumbersome
when
nullity’s at stake.
How best to describe
a complete blank?

Hollowed out vacancies,
abysmal chasms,
an orifice
with fissures
of infinite fathoms.

Lacuna, quad, em space, hiatus
formless form
vacancy takes.

Interval, cavity,
aperture,
junction,
2,035 words with said function.
Discontinuity
begs the conundrum,
for
nothing but nothing
expresses nothing
-ness
best.
