(5) Hollow
Something missing,
Unreturned.
Trivial, perhaps
to some
but to her
it was not the sum
of its worth, but
the need of such a freeing
object to bless further.
The loss cut.
The loss slashed
and spurned
her on cross,
left her starved.
Her world crashed
as if carved
discreet in shallow emboss
and left her hollow.
