Ullage
So it was the ullage
from the Latin oculus
the one thing
we need two of
& the Old French word
meaning to fill a cask
that isn't missing
though it falls short
of being full
the list I make
of surrounding holes
sunset moon
job beaker eye
the amount of a thing
missing not good
the amount of a thing
still there better
on this windy night
the evaporated moment
found & brought back
to fill a cask that isn't missing

Deletewhistling past the graveyard
shooting myself in the foot
pissing into the wind
there's a lot going on
