Shadow for a Soul
They're a cozy little conglomeration of souls
but the gaping hole in between them
is painfully there. They hold hands
anyway, shrink the circle down
but then it's the centre that's dark
And they know. They know
but they can do nothing. There's no filler
that will fill that hole in their circle,
in their meshwork of souls.
They can only pour their thoughts
and memories, and grace a shadow
to what should have been
an entire soul.
