Emptiness
by
Maria Paradiso
Emptiness is
eternal
All I have surrounding me is the space of empty
And in my wretched space is the big fat zero
Of nothing!
Fill the empty with a colour
Of insignificance
The colour grey
Except the colour grey
Only exists in our imagination.
When black is mixed with a little of white
Neutral shades of night
To give the illusion of day meaning light.
Running on nothing,
Running on empty
Pass the garage and fill her up –
There’s nothing there
Except explosions of microns in the open air
As hydrogen clashes with the oxygen
Of space…
Empty running lucid race
Empty is life
Replace
Empty with
Space.
