I am not alone
It is dark
Like a crow’s wing
Thick
Like despair
There is no one
Like the world died
Empty
Like a pot
Pain is stretched
Like a rubber band
Resonating
Like screams
I am alone
Like a widow
Silent
Like death
Then I hear it
Like church bells
Pleasant
Like flowers
There is a voice
Like a whisper
Gentle
Like rain
It is calling
Like a robin
Sweetly
Like chocolate
There is light
Like a candle
Growing
Like carrots
I am not alone
Like a family
Gathered
Like happiness
