Hauntingly Hollow- Inspired by Ayesha

Time

Like the woodpecker

At the great oak tree

Pecks

Pecks

Pecks

Into my being

Until

I walk

wounded-
riddled with the hollows of its unrelenting passage.

nooj, What is life but time pooled together on the strength of a soul. I'm wasteful :(- :)

parasputin, high praise from the master himself, I'm chuffed. :)))
