Black Poem by Sandra Feldman

I know you're not coming back,
And it hurts,
Like the day is long,
And the night is black,
And it hurts,
Like the cavernous black hole
Of a star that died,
Leaving behind,
No luminous track.

So, I'm feeling black,
Black like an endless cave,
With no heart,
Where blind bats gather,
Seeing not,
The sign of mourning,
The forever, Black,
Left by your departure
As the day is long,
And the future, black.
