Emotional Vacuums



Who will hold the wild cards you left when you left?
Who will hoist the petards of the bereft?
Who will tend the banquets you left when you left?
Who will wet the palates of the bereft?
Who will comb the seashores you left when you left?
Who will tell the folklores of the bereft?
Who will wear the costumes you left when you left?
Who will fill the vacuums of the bereft?
Who will boost sixth senses you left when you left?
Who will mend the fences of the bereft?
Who will toss the bouquets you left when you left?
Who will dance the ballets of the bereft?
Who will save the planets you left when you left?
Who will carve the granites of the bereft?
Who will feed the peasants you left when you left?
Who will give the presents of the bereft?
Who will teach the sages you left when you left?
Who will turn the pages of the bereft?
