Empty Vessel

ask me how do I feel, ask me now
that we're on the brink of unhinging
I am empty, purposeless, and isolated
an empty vessel
marked only with the dregs of what we had

if I am a coffee mug
let me be refilled with warmth and dark mystery
If I am a wine glass
let me hold again the dusky fruits of history
if I am a chalice
a reliquary
a Grail
let me cup again the sacred burdens of hope and faith
in love and sure in the knowledge of our tomorrow,
our inescapable eventuality

please
fill me again
