Not much of a poet, but this got stuck in my head, kind of a doggerel rondel. I like it. Makes me happy to chant it under my breath as I walk around town.
It's a big old sky
Empty of stars
Moon up above
Looks like a scar
Everything is hollow
Been emptied out
Big old sky going out
Mind on fire
Once burned so bright
The inward gaze
Now hidden from sight
Everything is hollow
Been emptied out
Mind on fire going out
Mean old world
Keeps going around
Everybody's bones
Deep in the ground
Everything is hollow
Been emptied out
Mean old world going out
A time that was
Never again
A skull in my hands
Here at the end
Everything is hollow
Been emptied out
A time that was going out
