event horizon

event horizon–

boundary of a black hole beyond which not even light can escape–

a point of no 

return 

so imagine, my dear, a color 

that is not a color 

that is colorless, if you will, 

because a void is what it sounds like: 

a void. 

nothing where there should be something. 

not a color but a concept 

like the sensation of zero translated into wavelength 

like dots and dust and atoms and pixels 

like infinity in all of its glory 

the beauty of a never-ending line 

and do you hear them sing 

in that language of spheres and spirals? 

do you want to 

know?
