Nothing At All by Allan Lake

Nothing lasts and lasts,
being the original non-thing.
End and beginning in one.
I have my share and it’s no burden,
unlike its weighty bastard, Something,
which does get mouldy, whereas
Nothing lasts forever.



Allan Lake is a poet from Allover, Canada who now lives and writes in Allover, Australia. Coincidence? Spooky, baby. His latest chapbook of poems, ‘My Photos of Sicily’, was published by Ginninderra Press in 2020.
