When The Ground Falls Away
a poem
--
The weight in my chest is sudden
pulling me down
as decades of dreams fall
The room expands
an echo of the gulf between us
my gasping breath sharp in the silence left by the slammed door

The weight in my chest is sudden
pulling me down
as decades of dreams fall
The room expands
an echo of the gulf between us
my gasping breath sharp in the silence left by the slammed door
