Listen to poem:

Emptied Moon

Emptied Moon
David J Walker

And the end will come
When it comes

As the never-ending
End begins

Empty minutes measured
Against
the past
of an unknown someone

Dizzy 		Empty 
Unassured to the last

We both were drunk on dark
and contrasting light
To study 
and discuss
	Emptiness

and the end will come at first flight

As another lie
unverified
occupied 
another emptied life 
too soon

Before we could learn to
Walk on water
Raise the dead
Or tread the moon

And what have we
Done today
She asked to soon 

And anyway
I’m Blown away

By eversion to an empty
Conversation
Filled to the brim with
With the emptied moon
