Zero is the concept,
of mathematical nothingness,
to convey the absolute,
where molecules sleep,
but for just a moment,
as vibrations shudder and burr into life.

No person can be zero.

Even the ashes of death,<
occupy space within the ground.

Zero is a memory.
Zero is a life once lived.
Zero is the death of the universe,
when the fermi paradox,
joins us all together.

Even in nothingness,
You still represent something.

He joined the Peel Street Poetry family in early 2015 and has a fondness for emotive imagery and on-going jokes about rhyming dinosaurs. When Denis isn't writing poems, he writes in code alongside several tech space-wizards. [Read more about Peel Street Poetry] [Back to Peel Street Poetry poems]
