Crossroads

1. A dark, thick, full emptiness. An inkblot stain impossible to remove.
3. Two mountains to fall upon, moments before you drown.
5. A thin film to collect on the memories you prefer to forget
7. In a wound, the pain of remembering
9. Bad news delivered on a virtual doorstep, cardboard indented with a red fragile stamp.
11. The last tissue in a fully used box. The sound of curtains closing over an open window.

2. A place where the sound of teardrops disappear with the ocean down the drain.
4. A heavy red crust, a byproduct of crystallized tear ducts
6. The feeling of fear from the unknown contents of a thick white envelope.
8. Something impossible to swallow around the lump in your throat
10. Akin to the thin buzzing in your ears when the world falls apart around you
