Dear nothingness

A bridge in Vienna, fogg surrounds everything

It was only recently that I crossed a bridge to get to work. The bridge was the same bridge as everytime I cross it. The handrail, the graffiti art, the cycleway, even the river beneath the bridge. But this time the world around was missing.

A spider web in the fogg

In this surrounding of wool-like exhalation, a spider’s web collection of drops anchored between here and there. And I remembered a German palindrome: Nebel // Leben, reflecting mist and life.

little ship covered in fogg

As I played the back and forth of Nebel-Leben-Nebel-Leben in my mouth, a boat went by, appearing and disappearing between the limitations of river and sky and everything in between.

6 Gedanken zu „Dear nothingness

  1. There is a timeless beauty in this post.
    Stunning images and haunting prose.
    This is my second visit to re-read and view this.
    It is quiet and calming.
    A welcome nothingness in a loud world gone slightly mad.
