sleepwalking
Will I ever awaken
from this never-ending affliction?
As I make you my addiction,
I need an intervention for my soul
because without you I don’t feel whole.

Excerpt from my poem “Empty”
Empty, like my eyes
dead of night
falling down in the dark abyss
Grief is that
feeling of nothingness
after a storm of pain of loss
This piece was written in a moment when words barely came—but what did come, camereal.
