there_are_no_words
raze some days
there's nothing there

it's not that the well is dry

more like the sun has burned a hole
through the bottom of the bucket
and all that was meant to fill it
was there for a moment
but has trickled away
before it could be of any use

you observe your haul
which is nothing at all
and stare through the hole
wondering how best to fill it

straw won't do the job
but straw is all you have
an embarrassment of useless stalks

maybe
come morning
the wound in the wood will have somehow
under cover of night
mended itself

it's happened before
it may happen again

for now
there's nothing there
and no way to draw near
what can't be held
no matter how proximal
