Hollow
Emma Lucana
Blisters in flooring.
Hollowed out wood.
By the time you notice the damage,
it is already done.
Termites are selfish.
Termites only look out for themselves.
Oblivious to the silent damage they cause
to unsuspecting people.
You damage me
wordlessly.
You, who promised to make me whole again,
have hollowed me out
like a termites quiet feast.
Not intentionally,
but because it is all you know how to do.
Termites did not choose to eat the wood in my home
it is just easy for them to digest.
