And just like that the vacuum engulfed

And just like that the vacuum engulfed,

Not that I wasn't aware...

But I wasn't prepared.

I laughed at the absurdity of vaccum,

It speaks:

And spoke the language that shredded my soul...more and more ..

The deep Kalahari desert of stigma reverberated,

Collapsing all that "I" was...

In my effort to show some love to self...

I frantically search!

Anything to distract myself 

And inadvertently, I go back to

Thinking...how? it all could be...

And just like that the vacuum engulfed.

Not that I wasn't aware...

But I wasn't prepared.
