it doesn't matter how many times they say
how lucky you are
(you know, to be alive and whatnot)
because that life you are so lucky to have is
suddenly empty
in a way that only a full life can be
suddenly emptied
which is to say suddenly filled
by an emptiness sprung fully-formed
and so vast
that you cannot swallow it down
it pushes at you until you choke
on the unfulfilled fullness
of a dream
