empty place

 empty place

consecrate

 

empty place

you anoint 

 

the empty place

(you anoint)

 

the place that was empty

that you

anointed

consecrated

took the oil 

to

and from

 

found and left

better

and worse

than before

you

were

ever there

 

it sat thick

as it 

ever tasted

clear

as it ever

concealed

 

you asked it to 

let you come

in

you put your thumb

in

little glass pitcher

coming out

slick

clear

as oil is clear

which is the clarity of

anything:

 

just as you see

it stretches

and warps

and you

come to know

the viscus between

you

and what

you see

 

you see,

see

the viscous sea

between

you

me

between you

me my legs

the sea

the sea between

my legs

the sea between

you

me the viscous sea

you see between my legs

you see me sea you 

between

you

me

 

where you point

where it seems 

nothing can be

because everything already

is

us

 

is the

empty

anointed
