Hollow

Your need fills the hollow in me

You hit speed to slow the solemn in you

There’s a time and a place

But this isn’t it, this isn’t it

Can I live with the hole?

Leaving you behind leaves

Without the plan or the plough

It gets bigger the seed

Of doubt, the seed

Like the click of a camera

The world’s stopped for my scrutiny

I can magnify raindrops

And see what they slice through

I can push back forgotten

And ring in the new, ring in the new

Can I live with the space?

Leaving you behind leaves

Without wanting a light

Constellations appear

Is this my course?

With doubts?

Your need fills the hollow in me

Can I still fill the hollow in you?
