Revelation

Have you ever wondered ...
what the inside of a balloon feels like ?
                 empty
                    full of nothing
                         vacuous
no feeling at all,
           NUMB
   It feels like me !


Elizabeth alexander       3/1/2016
written two days after discovering 
a breast abscess.
