ever full
torn paper
the beat of wings
turn of a leaf
a passing shadow
less than before
now a memory
a streak of chrome
a trail of red in the night
the world passing by
this, and more
unspoken thoughts
wait to be mined
take shape
in words, colors
that seep across the page
hold everything, and nothing
the reader left to decide
the poet’s intent
empty hands, cupped
hold more than the universe
has to offer, hopes, wishes
left unfulfilled, nothing
from the past but memories
awaiting the future
