Hole
3/19/01
Inside I feel you
or rather
I feel the hole
where you were.
I wake up and think
for a brief moment
that you will come back to me
but you won't.
Now your ghost walks the halls,
shimmers in the sunshine,
and speaks
to everyone but me
touches everyone but me
but still,
no one feels you more than I do.
The ice blue beyond
looking from high above me
seemed so real
as the words I longed to hear
sang in my deepest soul.
A tenderness I've needed
A little boy's fondest wish
seemed suddenly there,
but once again gone
even more quickly.
Do I surrender?
it seems nice
to think
about finally resting
in the warm chemical embrace
of nightfall.
After all,
the hole seems just big enough
for me to lay in...
