Tuur Verheyde
Ex Nihilo
I pick up shards
From a broken glass
And drop them in
A canary bin close by;
I am thinking of dogs
Or squirrels that may
Get cut as they pass.
Why stand bargaining
With the harsh nihilistic
Mist, when meaningful
Acts will just brashly
Burst through its blank
Walls, regardless of their
Seeming impassibility?
There is always more
Good to do. Even if none
Of it matters, which in
A sense, means all of it
Does.
