A simple post of appreciation.
What endures? What survives the oven flames?
What is left behind after death, and has no use but a sign that one was living and now is dead?
What survives our desperate last plunge into the cold blue sink?
Five bells.
Kenneth Slessor’s Five bells, brilliantly performed with sonic art on a now retired ABC Radio National poetry show.

To endure you must begin. To survive you must write without success…
Only for those five bells
