he collected
empty bottles
methodically
he scrubbed off the labels
with a wire brush
any paint on them
he put them
on every open space
throughout
his home
every where you looked
were empty vessels
he could relate to that
pure
clean
nothing inside
if he really looked at them
at himself
he might see the emptiness
was a reflection
of him

i collect empty bottles–but it is for their potential…art, candle holders, structures, molotov cocktails….

You’re full of soft squishy things. I know, I’ve felt them in all that cuddling.
Interestingly enough this reminded me of life, I used to collect old nails and screws (literal screws) and keep them in jars or dishes everywhere. Obsessiveness at its finest.

to the second, i did the same but with buttons (literal buttons)

Lol, well I wasn’t sure with you and your constant innuending if you’d think screws meant anything slangy or not
And I must have tore up your insides with all that laying all over your body crap
