Her belly is hollow.
Once it was filled with him,
but she has been excavated
and spun into emptiness.
.
Her head is hollow.
Once it was filled with him,
but she has been desolated
and spun into heaviness.
.
Her life is hollow.
Once it was filled with him,
but she has been devastated
and spun into enviousness.
.
Her hope was hollow.
Once it was filled with him,
but she has been extricated,
and spins into readiness

Thanks, Michael.
I had my first big outing since breaking my ankle, and ended up sleeping 15 hours last night. I didn’t even dream any beautiful moments. I’d say they wore me out! 🙂
Nothing like a happy ending. 🙂
Thanks, Melody. 🙂

Thanks, Hollie. As per my blog award policy posted above, I gratefully decline.
I understand perfectly, I too am award blog, but in the case of Aquileana, I was very honored, thank you!
You did not mention her heart.
Good observation.
How do you think her heart is faring, in light of the last stanza?
Nice twist! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Glad you got the ending!
Good lawd. That’s hollow. Pain, fer sher.
Indeed.
This is such a lovely poem. Hollowness sometimes haunts but it is part of everybody’s life. It was wonderful to read this.
Thank you, Manish.
I like how the subject of each verse gets bigger as the poem progresses, perhaps showing how it doesn’t always get better in time?
Now that’s an interesting perspective. What is happening in the last stanza, do you think?
I think there has been a drastic change. The tense is now in the past. So maybe a different perspective?
Perhaps!
powerful thoughts.
Thank you Mish.
