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
