53/365: empty space (published in Mindful Word)

empty space

thinking of a bell, with it's great hollow -
the emptiness is where the tone happens,

tongue swinging from side to side
as a boy pulls a rope far below.

the difference between a hammering
of metal on metal
and a call to reflection and community

is but the shape of the empty space
and the tongue that occupies it.
