the hole in my heart

Heartspeak

"the hole in my heart"

the hole in my heart
(she 'habited it like the stars a moonless mountaintop Montana midnight)

a dark place
simmering with solitary solicitude
obscurely lit by a souvenir suggestion of her smile
loud with the memory of her intimate urgings
yet
echoing with a silence that screams her present not presence

awash with animosity's ashen avarice
(though once calcined within by passion's feverish flame)
she countenances it not

Who are you, why are you here?

What do you think? What do you feel?
