hollowed out spaces

In the clay pipes there are hollowed out spaces
Like hearts not loved enough in a lifetime
Waiting and wondering what will inhabit them
Spiders, beetles, ladybirds
In the glory of the sunshiney summer they warm
Becoming more homely to another
The air and clay work together
A presence inhabits them
Along with the cobwebs and sawdust and soil
But what is the presence?
