Day 20

Nov 20, 2023

It’s another ‘cheat’ day, which I know will actually please a few of you, as this is another in my Elemental series, which a few of you have told me you’re really enjoying. This one is Void.

Day 20: Chamois

*

Stars puncture holes through space, I flew

there on otherwings, came back.  There is not

much to tell, as any insomniac could

illuminate.  The pinholes of stars photograph

us in all our feathers and love.  The spirits

look through them, peepholes to the roots

and beets.  Nothing to see, though.  Flat

suffocation, light on the non-flesh, no

bounce, no weight—sucking in, hard.  Like

that.  Hard to describe, but believe me:

A circle without lines or curves.  Organic

black without color.  Mnd without voice.

No sound but silent out-gassing.

Skim-milk-colored stars.  All-thought.  You

can’t see the stars from out there, you can

only see them from here.    Look up.
