Two hands clap and there is a sound. What
is the sound of one hand?
Hakuin Ekaku
What sound
does one clapping hand make?
The craft of
getting it wrong.
What do I
know?
I was never
one for riddles, anyway.
The
hollowness of the absence yelling back at it?
A sense of
hubris at the void – a debt from man
to the stars.
Remember me.
I am the salt of the Aegean.
Her organs
failed you, not me.
My memory
lingers –
who are we?
A body once
entwined says thank you
Or good
night.
Or good luck.
