...and the ice around collapses, in the spiderwebs of cracks

patterns all around are map – like vessels, thunders, veins, vaults, ruptures

Take us to the hadal zones, the deepest depths, show us seaweed burning rampant

carve two stones with only one commandment

pillar of fire, pillar of clouds are those there too?

divine monuments clear and bright, a word for a soul

crossing down the hadal – deep voice stutters to me

and builds me a ladder to get to the bottom of the sea

and so I went and so the stones were there

and this is what they say:

"immerse yourself

in dust and emptiness

I am nothing

dust and emptiness"

hadal

broken hourglass

mosaic

made of

abscence of light

and fire

so I witnessed the Pillar of Nothing

Surgically separated from everything else

as a clear, museal evidence

of absolutely no

Providence
