Though your blood courses
through every fiber
Your ghost occupies
Each cell floating through
You cleanse my stomach
Swallowing like bile
My schemes undermined
Leaving them behind
Skin layers molted
Yet gravity’s pull anchors down
And tensions’ rising shadows stretch
Reminding me that
the dead end
Of fear unknown is
found in hope
And that the light still
exists unseen
Deepest within black
holes waiting
