nothing fills
the emptiness of the question
where are they?

the empty nest
my daughter’s house
after the wedding

emptiness lingers
universe mocks  me
like an iron lung

emptiness lingers
weight of a droplet
on a lotus leaf

universe mocks me
filling the well
with salty tears

like an iron lung
echoes in the night
booming
