Void

[e_dog]

void where permitted
the law of the rope
is to swing

under my arm
is another arm --
this one holds an answer
to all the problems
life posed --

back when there
was a god
i worshipped her
each morning

now, on the horizon
is just
more sand

but

in truth
the abyss
is everywhere

darn, this formatting don't alow line staggering, visual arrangements, as intended!

It's short and it has a sharp point.

hey e-d

try formatting it in Word or whatever word processor you use, then use the html "pre" tag.. meaning "preformatted"...

< pre >text you have preformatted < /pre >... but without the spaces between the brackets and "pre'

see if that works

i've set it up so it should but haven't tried it yet.

you've got some good lines in this piece!

i worshipped her each morning, too, when i believed

but i will continue to worship morning, no matter how harshly she may greet me
