and here you have it in black and white
a candle that radiated darkness
that dropped white soot on the altar
of time before time came into being
when no light shone
darkness flickered
the wind blew away the ash
that no one could see
for there was no one there
but who lit the candle
was a cold question
that asked who asked it
when there was no one there
for nothing existed
just the candle that radiated darkness
with no light to grade it by
no distance for the soot to fall
no colour to radiate that whiteness
so the soot returned to the wick
the darkness returned to the darkness
time neither started nor stopped
the candle didn’t exist i tell you
but you do not exist
and neither do i
the candle holder weeps
