Belly of a Star

my practice of compassion

Missed

In the place between place;

where I cannot see

and cannot

be;

crumbled down

to ancient molecular moment

of extinction.

When all that was is no longer.

And what lingers

is twilight yesterday.

I miss him in the way

of mountains.

Lamenting in the ill-lit

awful.

Battering the trunk grown dim.

His branches ceased.

Scarlet bark

bled.

Echoing fury

lit.

My arms his. Cherished

against glass walls.

Face pressed indentations.

Rush hour vexation.

One merging one.

I hear my eyes

weeping.

Peel back corner

of middle part. Exposed

is the heart dropped.

Bellied within

reason.

How I ache in sadness

longing.

The forgotten

land from whence I came

scattered.

Here for the masses.

Victimhood chastised; envy

downcast; my echoing

bellow

perched upon master’s lap.

I miss you in the darkest

places.
