Solus

 













Solus

On the edge of everything there is something:

The mind, cradled by bone and skin,

Is the shore for an ocean’s wave -

With the kiss of kith and kin -

Rolling shadows into this island cave.

 

On the edge of everything there is nothing;

It hovers on the periphery of being,

But sometimes it slides into view

Like a fin slicing through water,

Cutting a hole in the whole … thing.

 

A whole is a whole by virtue of its parts;

A hole is hole by virtue of what surrounds it.

 

Everything but Nothing can be shared.
