Hmmm
What does it mean?
Everything?
And Nothing at all
Curiosity?
And apathy
Are you certain?
For I am not
Hmmm
It washes like a wave
Reaching
And then retreating
Connecting
And devastating
Do you adore its endlessness?
For I do not
Hmmm
Like a shape shifting cloud
Seeing
And unseeing
Being
But unbeing
Do you believe it was ever really there at all?
For I do not
Hmmm
It’s dark and heavy now
Terrorising
And terrifying
Vast
And vacant
Do you delight in its lingering?
For I do not
I hunt in the muds for words that make sense
But all I can spit out
In floods
That choke
Is that sound
Of Everything
And Nothing at all
The sum of my broken
Hmmm

A great write, sylvia, it is still rambling through my mind after reading it twice. Love the line 'I hunt in the muds for words that make sense'. I think that goes for every writer.
Thanks for letting my words ramble through your mind 😊

though blurry at times and not quite as delectable as some would like their poetic delight's, your words cut out the bullshit and go straight for the jugular at the root core of all 'hmmm' carcasses waiting at each end of our life's experience cycles, how well you've hymned this 'age of anxiety' (as Auden said it best) humanity seems incapable of shaking loose,
a wonderful write you've penned
Why thank you indeed 😊
