I want to give you something
\nI need to give
\nBut tonight I\u2019m empty<\/p>\n

Of raspberries, of sexual thoughts,
\nOf cruel things to say,
\nOf my children\u2019s faces, of love<\/p>\n

And the memory of love, even love
\nAs empty as a night like this
\nIn which no sun will ever rise<\/p>\n

Because there are no suns left, because
\nthe only sun<\/p>\n

Is emptiness
\nI want to give you<\/p>\n

Because emptiness is all I have,
\nA cup of emptiness,
\nNo, not a cup, or the form of a cup–<\/p>\n

There are no forms left–
\nA cup emptied of whatever makes a cup
\nBrimming with whatever emptiness is<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s emptied of everything
\nBut the need to give.<\/p>\n

\nIn this psalm the author is describing a feeling of total emptiness, of being drained to the last drop of everything. This idea of being drained totally dry is parallel to the idea stated in Psalm 73, which says that \u201c…They pound His people again and again, until they are drained of their very last tear.\u201d In this psalm the Israelites are drained, emptied of everything.<\/em><\/p>\n
