Empty

Skim beyond the outer layers

There was once heat there
Heart pumping blood flowing
With a purpose

And once upon a day

Curiosity

And as the cat...

Skip beyond the outer layers

And you'll encounter skin

Once a valley of slick smoothness

And as the child with chicken pox...

Scamper beyond the outer layers

Today there is a gaping hole where organs should have been

A frigid gust
And as with a cannon ball shot...

And no one to blame

No one to blame

But yours....

Truly.
