Emptiness (The Earth and You)

Empty

is just a word

used to discribe

wine glasses,

gas tanks,

threats and compliments,

until you’re standing

in an empty room,

filled with

sunken-in couches,

photographs and leveled bookshelves

—and you,

for you are something.

Yet even

with places to dream,

tacked memories and worded worlds,

it’s still as empty

as silence:

you fill the room

like noise fills a soundless void,

and you realize

that the earth

feels the same as you

to this room,

hung up

in the vast distances of

space.

~King Best
