Hollow from Ready Reckoner by Courtney Hartman

hollow (courtney hartman/maya de vitry)

hollow me out
clean on every side
for a story line
i must tell

follow the trail
i have left on the way
nothing more to say
for myself

bottle up the sounds of slowing moving water
of pigeons when they coo and flutter
church bells tolling the time of the day
and someone telling someone to stay

halt my step
when i move to fast
walking blindly past
night into day

swaying up high
bodies caught in the sky
and with no reason why
we’re falling down

bottle up sounds of slowing moving water
of pigeons when they coo and flutter
church bells tolling the time of the day
and someone telling someone to stay

to bottle up sounds of slowing moving water
of pigeons when they coo and flutter
church bells tolling the time of the day
