Kito Peters: Music
Empty
(Kito Peters)
i¹m empty like the desert
in a squall of sand
drift up a river
where¹s the promised land
vacant in the sunlight
with eyes half-mast
hose down the present
while the leaves float past
i hid here when you looked for me
always hoped i¹d make you see
i¹m empty like a crater
on the moon¹s dark side
trade wind mocks
the words i tried
vacant like a crevice
where the womb began
empty in fullness
i¹m your pregnant man
i hid here when you looked for me
always hoped i¹d make you see
i¹m empty in the quiet
of the final time
curled under cover
while the cracked bells chime
i¹ll be here when you look for me
always hoped i¹d make you see
