Where Nothing Is
on hallucinations that happen as we grieve the empty space where someone used to be
I see you in peripherals;
you fill the room with empty stares.
The sight of you so beautiful--
why don't they see you are right there?
-
You fill the room with empty stares,
among the shadows, fleeting eyes;
why don't they see you are right there?
How can they say I have not tried?
-
Among the shadows, fleeting eyes
show formless faces, blinking out;
how can they say I have not tried?
Leave the veil, and open your mouth.
-
Show, formless faces, blinking out;
the sight of you so beautiful.
Leave the veil, and open your mouth!
I see you in peripherals.
