You're not alone

with a plan of action, you can move forward and catch a glimpse of light at the end of this tunnel of self-isolation, my friend keeps scratching his head to find some nice words that comfort me.

slanted moonlight
in bed I curl around
this emptiness

in predawn darkness
awake from a dream of death ...
heart-to-heart with myself
