Black Hole

In my ear
There's a constant
Wailing.
It splinters the
Earth between
My feet.
I'm falling.
Always.
Falling. Failing
Down between the cracks
I slip. Dirt
Rough against my cheek.
I'm stuck.
Can't
Breathe. My eyes
Cast down.
The sun is cruel.
Face turned away
but it still
Runs its fingers through
My coils.
The warm rays oil
My scalp so in the back
Of my mind
I remember
Brighter
Days.
But tonight.
But. To
Night is
Dark. Night
Is cold. The sun
Can't penetrate
My black skin
That swallows the hope
Of the dawn.
I am a black hole.
Collapsing
Onto myself.
