leaning back into a chair
with the window open unto a blank sky
like paper as I sat to glimpse
the emptiness that I had drawn
as surreal as a windswept beach
in the sand and ocean
over depths of untraveled pathways
as it sits alone in its geography undiscovered
the possibility of a poem
elaborating in such disguise
and in great detail
the beginning
just as the wind blew across the horizon of my youth
as it kept me bewildered for centuries
and disappeared into the shortness of my breath
as if thrown across a desk
in some illustration and use of metaphor
only to forget
and while folding the pages
to remember the sublime details of one's discovery
that you had read
and never looking back long enough
to remember it more than
a moment in the passing
of an epoch and era of candid reply
in the sand and ocean

the moment of ever opening
into the well
you must dip
the question and the answer
dance
and the answer hides behind the door
who has the key
is it locked?
love the buildup
find root in the pretense
amazing poem...
thanks

There is no empty space
