Shayan Afzal

Intro:
Hollow is a minimalist poem that explores the empty spaces within us, the ache of longing, and the strange quiet that echoes back. It touches on themes of self-reflection and the emotional void we carry in a search for meaning.

Poem:
silent, where dreams
drip to dust
and stars breathe out, fade,
is that familiar empty place,
a voice (or was it a name?)

I am less than whole
yet full of all this ache,
a shape in space, a
half-remembered face.
