Hollow from Hollow by Angela Winter

Hollow

Hollow is the world
Follow what you heard into the hole
That can’t be filled
Here inside a dream
Time’s not what it seems to you and me
Out in the light

Through a passage into places dark and unknown
Past the twisted roots, the walls of mud—
A room inside
On a table lies a feast that’s gone too soon

Hollow is the world
Swallow what is curled inside the hole
That must be fed
Here inside a dream
Offer all that breathes and writhes with joy
Out in the light

We are traveling into places dark and unknown
Past the twisted roots, the walls of mud—
A stone inside
Place your portion with the feast that’s gone too soon

Hollow is the world
Let your dreams unfurl into the hole
Where beauty’s born
Here inside a dream
Life’s not what it seemed to you and me
Out in the light

We are here inside a place once dark and unknown
Pushing past the veil into a secret room inside
And before us lies a feast that’s gone too soon

Someday our prince will come
Bones from his pocket drawn
But until then
Feed the ghosts
