Serenity When

when nothing is all there is

I am able to give more of the same

dig deep into my empty pockets

scrape away my empty plate

see through me retreating into these darkening blues

froth of you leaving returning over sunken jetties

a squealing pulsing sea

your eyes stare into a longer story unread

but truer than any contemplations

serenity when

there is nothing left

to be
