There is a centerless void
Hidden under the navel
To which we are forever pulled
In search of __________

                Unending  spi­ral
                Unnerving spiral

This famished vortex
has swallowed them whole
Self; Soul and Meaning

Oh distasteful Charybdis!
I beg you to *****

If you were to squeeze a poem
Love would likely ooze

To say the least, perplexing.
one would think it’s all been said

The scent of skin

All tarnished by ink

But talk to me of squalor
Weeping dirt under our nails

And you still will fail to impress
Yet that’s never been the point

That get’s swept away by night
