by Paweł Markiewicz
A poem from my drawerling,
to wit red notebook 1998
what is a nothingness?
solely an adumbration of
the voidness – forsakenness
an accustomary expression
an extinct volcano
– ad invinitum
the little animal
ki lled by the children
haply a starlet
– the dead
a ground of the bosomlet
from stone
or mayhap
the leaflet
fallen downward
the whole picture
only without you?
May, 1998
The nothingnesses
