How is it
I feel your absence--
a black hole in my gut--
but I cannot feel Earth turning?
You're gone--
I know this--
yet the questions suck away in my belly.
The world lies still beneath my feet,
but I know it is spinning.

Just one more question--what about, for the last two lines:
the world lies, still beneath my feet,
but I know it is spinning.

So I say no comma. Let 'em ponder over it and figure it out on their own, dammit! I'm grading papers...AHHHH!
ok. No comma. Now it's done.
Whew. Is it poetry contest material...?
