The hole in the heart Is deep and dark Like a shaft sunk Far into ground A perpendicular cylinder Pointing at The sun And empty of all thing But pain And it never goes away Drilled there whole It functions And stays To relay my loss Easily A route of direct Access to the unseen core The pump that keeps me here Our link severed by air Which I breathe and you Do not O hollow shaft of silence O hollow shaft of death And loss.next poem
