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
