Plumb the depths
dig into the gritty nitty
else i l q1 r b H and
all aaaa—zzzz—2222
fall hollow?
Reach no heights;
pale to f a d e , the flesh
unknown.
So they say.
Dig it up, serve in red
bites, chunks drip,
for drool’s only run where
pain lives. Apparently.
Risk. Fly off the rock.
The greater the heaven
the greater the soar,
the greater the fall,
the greater the splat.
Splat.
Splat.
Ah, splat into wisdom’s eye shine
or splat into vapid’s barren desert?
Turn the letter-word-phrase to
a golden, light, even crust on all
sides. Perfection?
Beauty’s in the eye of
the beholder, I’ve heard.
Still, word’s truths live
tho’ understanding varies.
Does this depth skim
some other’s surface?
Miss their depth?
Is this as
deep as I get?
Perhaps it takes a dig
beyond their deep
to get me.
