Empty like many things
cannot be named
empty is a verb
but doesn't happen
empty's not a doing
empty is what we
consist of more
than anything else
life living itself
We seem to have
a universe empty
empty full empty
Is light empty?
Is house empty?
All things are full
of themselves
even Space is
full of itself
Is this because
they are also
Empty?
Housing themselves?
Do we call something
Empty when we
cannot otherwise
perceive its thus-ness?
Perception itself
is empty / capacity
to receive
As I touch in
em
pt
yi
ng
≠
when
how
with what
where
does
some
thing
be
come
emp
ty
?
Re-reading this and savoring, towards the end,
ReplyDelete"emp" - flashed on empathy and how similar it is to empty...resonating with your earlier "capacity /to receive"
Scooter Bee, I so appreciate your savoring... you've been visiting the various poem/flowers here ~ doing your hive activity. How so appropriate for this weeks prompt. Thank you... this blessing of yours does not go unnoticed! I'm wondering, can I call you sometime and we could talk/visit a little before August comes rolling around? Bless.
