The response to Exploration Challenge #11 has been rather inspiring. I happened to come across an article on Labyrinths, which inspired an erasure poem.
More inspiring than that, the two are in sync.
Allow me to share it before the customary Thursday piece.

Erasure Poem
all these transformations
metaphorical and paradoxical
insist on being read
something crucial shifts
an empty space waiting
to be inhabited by the self.
Meditative labyrinths
lead to the same centre
until you feel the urge to enter
stepping into ‘liminal space’
In the labyrinth
you don’t lose yourself.
you find yourself.
you are turning
but following the same line,
you reach the sanctuary
but do not stay there.
piled-up paradoxes
like metaphors
I wasn’t finding myself
I was leaving a piece of myself behind.
