empty can

                      empty  feeling
                      empty  can
                       empty  me.
                    longing  missing  wanting  yearning
                   finally driven to phone you ... dial ... ring once ...
                    lose nerve ... hang up quickly
                        brush teeth
                       get ready for bed
                      transfer pain to paper
                         hug fetch
                      go to sleep
                                                                  empty can
                                                                      can empty.
