Fathomless Abyss

Translation by Tree Buffalo

The Universe is empty, but at the same time un-fillable.

Everything we know pours out of its fathomless abyss:

blunting its own sharpness;

untying its own knots;

softening its own glare;

and unifying its own diversities.

It is profoundly tranquil but barely perceptible.

I do not know its origins, but it predates even the most ancient of gods.
