Sight, Sound and Nothingness

 

 

 


My attention is distracted by an uninvited crash.

My eyes blur with it.

The sound flashes in my mind.

My senses are confused as a heavy darkening thud casts a shadow over my enterprise.

My concentration is broken as all I know falls into disarray.

The clatter of life—the rowdy turmoil of being—strains against another blinding sound;

The noiselessness of death, the dark quietness of non-being.
