a scanner partly

this was my first response to the prompt quoted below;
a much more, uh, elaborate (?) reaction is currently gestating.
this is a place holder, in effect.
a scanner partly:
To be or not to be
Some freak anomaly
A ghost rattling chains of electricity
Behind a cloud of plasma energy
The hole in the heart, the absence of a centre
The hollow core hiding
In a magnetic field.
.....................
the prompt piece was
In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
