black lake

i wake and find outside

my door a black lake

rippling against the hand

the wall behind me

a bulging eye

i lift and sink with ebb and flow

my heart is a black lake

rippling inside my chest

the wall between us

a bulging embrace

i woke to find that i have lost my soul

where my soul was there is a big black hole

hollow hollow hollow hollow hollow. the black lake took and the black lake gave
