There’s a space on the page
A pause and a breath
The length unknown
Forever?
Or just a moment dawning?
A heartbeat gone?
A change felt
From then to this,
From you to us?
The press of air against my back
Substantial and heavy
The silence oppressive
Write what you will
Scribble me out
Again.
Always.
Empty.

E is not Empty
I won’t scribble you away,
or toss your soul.
Not leave you faceless
Alone,
or tormented
by a blank page.
I see you
trending,
launching with joy
at your clutched letter.
A publisher
of humanity
wanting to find your
joy, your footstep
that will take you into eternity
with other poets who await you.
