Untitled, Erica Schlaefer

Untitled
By Erica Schlaefer


Blended words and blended beats
My heart’s concave it needs release
Empty cells nestled near
Absence stirs the mood of fear
The body yearns to seal its fate
And awaits its chance to create
Somewhere lost I might not gain
I’ll nuzzle through despair and pain

  1. I really like this, and how tight and compact it is highlights the idea of nuzzling down into the pain.
