stair well. after 
i post a string of things.  
feel this emptiness.  
the things strung together go like a plumb line 
down the stair well.  
or any line, a deep see hook.  
a kite that pops the sky 
the string is gone. left holding nothing.  
holding the string, 
the slack after tug.  
the line is left of no thing. something 
is pulling. plumbed, 
done, pulling.
