    Aborted

    Emptied--
    a drum hollowed out
    lost of sound
    sealed closed

    Emptied--
    a vessel unearthed
    old bones
    dead eyes

    Emptied--
    a pysanky egg
    blown glass
    winter wind
    all the same

    Emptied--
    stale plates
    flattened out
    drifting away

    Emptied--
    just a shell
    a ball of air
    dissected
    rejected

    Emptied--
    no more words
    no more thoughts
    not a sound

    Emptied--
    silenced
    with a dull thunk
    echo in the mind

    I really like this last bit Dark Muse.

    You certainly lived up to your name with this one! Dark and brooding, still searching for more hidden nuance...me that is!
