Emptiness - Mount Eerie

«More emptiness,» I said, «And more, and more.»

When someone asked me what was in my bag

I said, «More emptiness»

Where the house is not is where the room is

The rest of the volcano is sky

«More emptiness,» again, «And more, and more.»

«But what about the lives that we have lived

And all the buildings and poems we made?»

I see you

We are two black holes in a vast night

A van in neutral rolling down a hill unoccupied

«More emptiness,» again, «And more, and more.»

I stood next to the river and threw a large sheet

Of glass as far as I could in

The way the water was cut in two

The sword in sky was mind only

Forming this one thought: emptiness
