Empty Overflow

Peer through
Youd never know that behind the paintings
Hangs the reality

Pouring out through
Swirling paint drips
Trying to lick the spit through the window
So you can smell it
Taste it
Recognise the same horse behind the mirror

And shaping like a moon
You settle into the warm golden glow of the night
Arked into its smile

Looks across the yard to see
The spewing mess that overtalks
Grooming your view

Assured behind duck bills the
Guts and whinneys of 
The self despaired 

The eight burns
And you are too busy
To notice

Full with nothing
Empty overflowing
Forgot to dig your toes well into the dirt

Such a hindrance.
Your bones are showing
But your soul is kept behind the shards.
