Nothing

You are everything
You are nothing
And concrete setting around your feet

You are everything
You are nothing
And your arms as corn stalks reaching
And the rope is tied to nothing

You are everything
You are nothing
And your eyes as swords looking to slay your brother, your sister, your ghost
And their vessels are empty of blood

And you were never here
And you were dust directing the wind

You are everything
You are nothing

We are words before the voice
We are silence among the reeds
A drum fallen from the clef
Splintered maple murdered once more

We are everything
We are nothing

Dripping empty excess screaming revelations into the void
