Blank page words

This is a result of #BlankPage writing, an exercise through which I clear my mind and write words as they come to me, with no plan at all. I never know what might result. A poem? A story? A blog post? A jumble of words that make no sense at all?

Here is today's result:

There is emptiness

complete

filling every fiber

every pore

It seeps and binds

and winds its way in

Fuel for dark rapture

Emptiness that clings

and forms

and locks in the cold

the old

the unwanted

forgotten

abandoned toys of childhood

joys of youth

ancient longings creeping in

under the floorboards

beneath rusty nails

a holy grail of

Emptiness
