The Junction

While I'm at it

I'm starting to stare

At my own eyes

It leads me back

to that emptiness

the numb

that blinds the mind

and wrings the heart

While I'm at it

I feel lost

Alone and yet

Unfeeling

Nothing comes

Between now

And yesterday

It is there

In that space

Where only

I and myself

Hold and link

With each other

It is there

When I

Need you most.
