Blindfolded

The hollow listens, a hum echoes blindfolded, the fright released taunts spill the night in apprehension Dust blows in off the day a deserted island of despair Empty, the hands circle back inner moments of mistake doubt delivering her blow then bows out of sight Left, to ponder, to wonder why the nails never cry with all the pounding inside
