Empty Cavity

I feel all hollowed out. Not as though I have a beaten and broken heart - that would require actually feeling something - no. I feel like my heart has rotted away; decayed and become dust.

My ribs are a cage; an empty cavity with the brutalizing breeze of yesterday. An eerie resolve of day. The stench of death - potent -  in the air.
