This hollow place I have been keeping empty
Scooped clean of everything right to the rind
A cask or basket fashioned to collect me
Suddenly too full, an overflow resigned

But sometimes I can cup the waters gently
Allowing just enough a planned escape
Though deluge comes to fill the void intently
Too full again, surprise concealed it’s drape

This hollow place so warm and soft as kidskin
What now remains the heart once new and sure
To carry all the love that then could fit in
Seems over filled by something far more pure

This hollow place seems sometimes only paper
Although a feeling of your hands cupped round
And I am so amazed when floods to vapor
Too full of you, a sea inside I’ve found
