You’re Well Endowed
The greatest gift you have ever gotten is the black hole inside of you,
the intensity of gravity pulls inward but the immensity of your expression pushes back too.
Happy go lucky on the outside, with thoughts and emotions that vary and accrue, you’re attracted to questions that arise out of the blue,
isn’t it obvious that uncertainty gravitates towards you?
Do you consider the absurdity of the weight that you pull through, or are you just happening on queue?
And isn’t it maddening that hue? Enough blackening for two.

The interrogatives pull us in.
Make us part of the conversation.
the way you do the internals with rhyming and cadence, once again
Pro.
Thank you for commenting on the interrogatives! That really made my day.
I wasn’t able to work a concrete image into the poem but if anyone reading this comment has a suggestion for one, let me know.
I love the rhythm and how you easily rhyme without it feeling forced but just a natural flow!
To your question: I think you could lean into description of the black hole, if you needed concrete.
I agree with the others beyond that!
Second the black hole for the likely concrete candidate. Love the rhymes and how this just carries me along.
I wasn’t sure where you were headed with the title, but you surprised me. Well done! I agree with the black hole becoming concrete. Use a simile? “attracted to questions that arise out of the blue” like a (provide a concrete image here?). Love the questions, and you are right, one concrete image does connect the reader to the poem.
