Empty No Teeth

Time was, time was empty, no teeth Mouth was thirsty, swallowed breathing Carried to me, deeply drinking We word, word we, to seek, to see Time was, time was knowing, leaving Empty-hearted, leaning, slanted Autumn, tumble, compost, leaf mulch Holding, hoping, calling, going Time was, time was growing Time was climbing, all fours, all fours Time was all ours for hours and hours Daylight creeping away, leaving, leaving Time was, time was empty, no teeth Time was, time was empty, no teeth
