Abstract: The fragment seeks to explore poetic forms of the experience of silence and its meanings. Along the text, the lines cross multiple faces of this dimension of emptiness and how silence permeates all aspects of human and non‐human experience—before birth, after death, in culture, and in nature. It is both presence and absence, oppression, and refuge. So, as an ontology, silence is a fundamental force—agent of meaning through absence, sublime, enduring presence that remains even in the face of losses.
