Poem about Nothing

sometimes you have
nothing to give
to say
sometimes you are
consumed to live
in the void
I have been empty
and full simultaneously
a fullness that hurts
a fullness that distracts
a fullness that leads
back to empty
I want to walk it off
set bare feet to ground
dig in the earth
plant the discarded
lilies found in a trash heap
and ask a question--
Why would anyone
pull up a living thing
to bury a seed in its place?
