do not prepare any family for the loss of a loved one.
Addiction and drug abuse blackens souls,
shreds minds and dissolves bodies, tearing them
from families, friends and communities
leaving black holes that cannot be filled except with memory
soulless and mindless, embodied only
with ingestion, injection or breathed deep into tender lungs
Innocent powders and liquids when sitting alone
Powerful chemical torches when flooding the brain.
bills, phone calls, emails and broken toys or tools
is a day full of living abundance and gratitude
for the safety of my own family.
“Imagine trying to live without air.
Now imagine something worse.”
