zero
a concept
difficult to comprehend
how can there be none
when the world is full of so much?
an absence
of anything,
void –
even death cannot
claim a zero –
something is left.
I have not felt you, zero
I guess I am lucky.

A very profound take on the prompt. We have all experience loss; we are all not so lucky to have never experienced zero.❤️

I watched the Great Courses university lectures on Mathematics and was particularly taken with the one about infinity and the other about zero. Both have a rich philosophical history.
