I have no soul,
but something
is there
like the ember
carried
in the hollowed horn
of an animal

it is still
there
when I throw
half of me
away
and half
of what remains
away

it is
in what remains;
it is
in what is thrown away

I could loan you one of mine....sometimes I think there are at least two or three rattling around in there....

Seriously, I like your way of looking at things....quite unique, and I truly value that in poetry.

I like this one. That ember, I don't think I have one of those. But I love the image.

And this just reminded me that I love that your stuff.

Opening stanza is awesomely inspired.

Love it, love it, love it.
