Filling

Famous quotes containing the word filling:

“the gap of today filling itself
as emptiness is distributed
in the idea of what time it is
when that time is already past”

folds all energy in:
the image glares filling all space:
the head falls and
hangs and cannot wake itself.”

with the words from my pen.
Words leak out of it like a miscarriage.
I am zinging words out into the air
and they come back like squash balls.
Yet there is silence.”
