A hole in my heart 

she comes in

leaves suddenly 

a hole in my heart 

I open the gates 

search her along the window sill

the nodding head 

i imagine 

yet she comes in

through the peep holes 

in my broken heart 

she comes in through the light 

I look up to 

I seek around 

I stretch to touch her 

I sniff and smell 

She is there 

I tell everyone 

at times the holes 

close in on its hearth 

She is there 

She is home 

She comes in

the holes close in on its hearth

A hole in my heart 

blood flashes 

falls out as poetry 

a momentary lapse of her continued presence

A hole ..and a poem
