In the Deep

I dug a hole, a hole so deep, I felt the heat beneath my feet, the fire of hell burning in me. Into the hole I placed my heart, still beating heart, I buried deep beneath the clay beneath my feet. Abysmal hole, but shoal at first, grew and grew with each spade of earth, each memory, I buried deep. You endless hole mesmerize me in dank dark pitch my reverie, mud encased, in each spade of earth. Feculent hole, insipid beast, you’re all that’s foul entombed in me my horrid thoughts, my reverie. This deep dark hole, inside my soul, is where you’ll see my heart yet beat, my broken heart, entombed in me. 11/23/2017
