Loss

Vipassana

Just the outline 
of the thing, the

stench of something
rotting somewhere,

the inexplicable 
puddle of water in 

the front hall closet, 
but for some 

a chance, like 
the universe, 

to emerge 
from nothing.

    I see that this may be taken in two different ways one fantastic and alien and the other microscopic and the creation of bacteria. In either case the poem expresses a sense of horror at what might be inside the closet an alien object or being or something rotting and decomposing. An ugly surprise either way. Well done

    Something that comes from nothing is a miracle. Unexplainable, questioned and sometimes feared. Nicely written.
