Hollowman Gains A Soul

Hollowmans visiting the funeral ghats when, befuddled by indifferent bodies and the unemotional smoke, stooping, he misjudges a metal door and cracks his own skull open by mistake, which being hollow allows a soul to enter andbut concussed he forgets the whole episode.

Now he’s emptying the dishwasher.

Before this felt a bit hollow.

Today at the back of the cupboard

Behind the cups he senses a presence

And he knows he’s not alone.
