The Empty Instant

What would I do with a longer life
With a few thousand hours
Even these moments —

Of what use is time to me
Too little or too much

This hollow —
Empty instant
What can it give

The whole world forgotten
Asleep
And this expanse showing
Awake

In a single blink is all known
What more
Time could ever show
