Inspired by Jim's "Koan"
The Sound of One Hand Clapping: An Old Cabin
A wind-slapped door
The warped whimper
Of rusted hinges
In a littered corner
An owl dusting the floor
With a crippled wing
A cracked leather glove
Where a mouse darts
And curls into a fist
On a wall a photograph
Torn almost in two, one
Half waving goodbye
A pump handle raised
Held in fingers of frost
The well forty years dry
