The Hole

ArchesNatParkThere’s a hole in the middle of the prettiest life,
So the lawyers and the prophets say.
Not your father nor your mother
Nor you lover’s gonna ever make it go away;
And there’s too much darkness in an endless night
To be afraid of the way we feel.
Let’s be kind to each other
Not forever but for real.
—Bob Franke

When do you most feel the hole in your life?
