Emptiness
————–
It is that which grows
at the back of eyes
as they sweep the
cobwebbed corners
of the barred window.
It is the sunlight that
creeps in through the broken glass
to taunt the dust motes
rising up.
It is the hollow of
the almond kernel
lying
by the roadside.
It is the space
in the twist of
rope wrung to
tighten the knot.
It is the never ending
beat of the waves
on the shore.
It is the newspaper sheet
blown by the wind caught
in the spokes of the bicycle
trundling down the empty street.
It is the fragrance
of the lost ilanji flowers
in the envelope.
Emptiness is.
