To fill a void
one must first
acknowledge
it exists–
and failing
that expansion
must go outward
unbindable
highway 2
at dawn
a woman possessed
but even at
these new falls
bigger than the last falls
even with their
most conclusive roar
and electric moss
rocks and clean air
I still think here
here’s where
that hiker fell in
and went over
yes nature giving
but yes nature taking
away even at the lake
the clouds never burned
off chilly
and hesitating
and so we parted ways
earlier than expected
OPTIONAL POETRY 
“To fill a void
one must first
acknowledge
it exists–”
that’s common sense, I would like to think.

Daniel, You would be surprised how many voids you can fill without knowing it, or how many you might carry with you thinking you’re carrying something entirely else. Or maybe you would not be surprised, but acknowledging voids one can in fact fill is not entirely common.
C, I tried to like this one again since you haven’t posted for today. But the best I can do is unlike it and then like it. Which is kind of like creating a void, and then filling it–but besides being pretty uncommon, it would also be kind of stupid of me to do.
Which doesn’t mean I haven’t done it. Already, a few times.
