Stories Never Written

he leaves behind
..a stack of

young
...pregnant
.......girls
........having
.........babies....

mere echoes of
his unconscious self,
crying out his name....

against the rage
that lingers where
his heart should be....

feeding the hunger
that
..devours
.....him
...... .from
.........within!

books unopened,
stories never written!
