metamorphosis

existential angst, life, liminal, poetry

I am a vacancy
a breach
in the space
around me
an anomaly
in the flow
of air
I breathe out
a sigh
emptying
my lungs
of the world
I am drowning
within
I am not I
I am an absence
of myself
a remnant
encased
in a broken
chrysalis
(February 2013)
