Ugly: Poem 97

An ending so ugly 

it takes

my breath 

away 

stay 

far away from me

and make yourself

a home 

where people 

like you

    like you

a gaping void now 

yawning black

and silent

    oh so peaceably silent

that your absence

makes my heart ring

and my ears 

grow quite suddenly 

fonder
