I’ve noticed the
Objects have shifted since
You’ve come and gone
Unlocked themselves and
Left home
For instance,
The underbed storage
Was empty
Then it was full
Now it is empty again
There will be something
To fill it once more
Contained life is
Empty, not empty.
But wait–
Here, corner-pushed, has
The Almost Gone collected:
A lonely aspirin,
A tear of paper,
Smattered blond threads
From a shaved head.
Could we call that empty?
It is empty enough.
