the void
published by Spiritus Mundi Review

does the bond break when the people do


for i am left a shattered mess

in the aftermath of it all

traversing through the fragments

of us floating in the cosmos


what cannot be seen cannot be broken


a nebulous heart

adrift in the void

searching for a place to rest

amongst the stars


what cannot be seen cannot be felt


what is felt only exists

in the ether

an intangible presence

an all-consuming atmosphere
