“Unlocking the Silence: Discover the Hidden Depths of Dah’s Enigmatic Poem ‘Blank'”
A slate-colored night
is thrown over my body,
the diction of damp leaves,
the convenience of loneliness.
If I could
I would turn the World into mythology
write a final chapter
because I am weary of gods,
of satans,
of those who break the light.
Give me the intelligence
of emptiness:
Let me begin each sentence
with nothing to say.
Let me end each poem
as a blank page.
