beyond
even the abyss refuses to return my gaze
swallows my words and pretends
i never birthed them
never gave them shape
never flung them from my lips into the cold
the void mocks me
insinuates that i am more than nothingness
yet offers no hint
no choice
of worth
the light
at the end of the tunnel
is flickering
and the ferryman has returned
my coin
