Something Without Substance
A Poem
1 min readAug 26, 2020
She provided something like substance
without the heart pumping it to life
the veins devoid of blood
to receive the full procurement
of the pieces of information
she deflected like a goalie
bouncing balls off into space
meant to seek a place
a shot to scream out score
never giving more than
what she had in store.
