emptiness (qasida)

the moment the e-mail leaves
            will there be an
            answer or an
            acceptance or an
            emptiness?

who the hell cares if I
            never hear again
            never see again
            never ever again?
            emptiness.

a soft ping. the moment has come
            is anyone home?
            are you alone?
            my reply now awaits
            emptiness…
