034 | A Tarmac Road Floats Inside a Void

There Is Fire All Around It

Tarmac Road, Digital Image, Samantha E. Harvey [SEH], 2024

It takes
one whole
mile
to tango with me.

In that mile
comes a gift
or is it
a trick?

A tarmac road floats inside a void
there is fire all around it
the point of its far perspective floats in the wind.

The whole road is moving in a breeze
structured
solid
and at the same time
made of
thin
delicate material.

It vanishes
into a white point
and engulfs me
fully
expands out in a circle.

Then the void
comes back

this time

without the road.

We play chess
on a vertical board
there are no pieces.
