Missing piece,

Link into me,

Let me be not missing.

Not so blind.

Clean.

Falling into freedom...

Filling in the void...

Stop.

Poets come complaining of a poem lacking flow.

Even when it drips. Heavily. Steadily so.

Hungrily readily these interns crow

Ignoring the soft tissue.

Whilst other patients die from misuse.
