empty

with concrete feet I pace the the floor of days,
the slow grind of fingers along the bones of the past
just an empty spark and a
rusted out gas can of hope.
sodden hands overflow into eyes holding close
the night so shadows
can not steal what I can not see.
prayers flutter around the moons salience
lost in the temporary freedom but this is
not the emptiness they can fill.
