with a hole in her chest
she hit the road
on a mission to find something beautiful.
mechanized highways churn like teeth
and spit out a flavorless wad.
carved an image of interest.
a swing and a laugh
a hit and collapse..
bottles of whiskey
bags of trash
left behind in shopping carts in walmart parking lots.
destruction in the passenger seat eggs her on,
her best friend.
now an alcoholic,
riding the wave til the crash.
I AM HOLLOW
she screams of her lust
lies and spiritual attacks..
was it a soul that she lacks?
nothing fits this gap
without change......
she denies her love and prays for the past.
one day.
