Emptiness

Today I am afraid
Afraid to open my eyes
look down
and find a huge emptiness.

That emptiness that contains
the amplitude of the world;
or that one that swallows my being
slowly from above my navel.

I am afraid to open my wings
and take flight
without knowing when to stop,
or under which conditions,
or where to land.

Today I feel suffocation and
I am afraid to drown.
To get lost in an endless sea
and never find myself again.

To forget their voices
the tone of their laughter
their gestures and smells,
and their warm closeness.

Today that it is so hot,
I am cold, terribly cold.
Just hug me, please.
