Address Unknown

Photo/Poem 1 Minute 
 Bag of festering grief,
 trapped in the never-ending night.
 
 Ceaseless concussions
 of suffocating loneliness,
 nose dive collision
 through terror and dread,
 tumbling into pits 
 of perpetual loss.
 
 Bare wire deprivation,
 stripped of insulation,
 discarded and raw, 
 The Nothing Draw - 
    no connection,
    no sleep,
    no dignity,
    no pleasure,
    no hope.
 
 Abandoned and forgotten,
 insatiable black hole remains,
 the catastrophic gyre of misfortune and terror,.
 
 Then:
 Nothing
 Nothing
 Nothing.
 
 Address unknown,
 state of damnation;
 not quite dead,
 just live enough
 
 to endure each day
 with a broken heart.
