psalm to emptiness

 

my spirit has

waned,

my creative energies, have flown away

 

i am encumbered

by

a thousand bottles of emptiness

 

they are all, neatly stacked

upon the shelf

 

each one, representing a day

gone by

 

a toast – a toast – and yet another toast

 

to an already forgotten empire

of

nothingness

 

just another meaningless clink

of glass

 

to celebrate the goblins, of bottles past

Marvelously Melancholy

But there is a spirit glowing beneath the words - the right words that are exacting and emptied of nothingness easily :D
