(no subject)
i am a black hole.
i was just taking everything
in and holding it there but
now it won't
get out.
these shelves are bending heavy.
look at my prizes
see what i've done
and who i've been.
i was holding you in.
i relegate the worst to
a tomb in the
pit of my stomach
(though it sometimes surries
in my throat.)
i say, "you stay here, and
i'll be back soon"
but years pass
and when i do
my belly is bloated with
the dense hull of a ghost.
see,
i leave you.
i'm the one who leaves you.
but i didn't account for that
you can't ever escape death.
