A small, insistent animal
with very sharp claws digs
in my brain. Steadily digs.
No pile of damp nerves
shows like fresh earth
overturned on my skull,
as it is a clever animal—
quiet and careful. Morale and soul
it slips out, dumps in the yard.
But just rap on the bone
and you'll hear the hollow,
that round, empty echo inside.

WickedEveabout 17 years agoA few lines in this poem are excellent: No pile of damp nerves/shows like fresh earth/overturned on my skull,/But just rap on the bone/and you'll hear the hollow,/that round, empty echo inside.
I love that you added words like earth and bone and hollow. Good word choices that set the mood of the poem.
