In my time,

I’ve entered many caves and pots

and what entices

me about any hole or grot

is not the stalactites and mites;

it’s more that nothing’s

really there – a no-thing

- hole – this darkness – pitch black

- starless – blank -

and then an energy

swirls, connecting

up from hollows

(out of an emptiness)

comes a ‘no thing’:

God knows.
