I wanted to create a feeling of human despair through a series of images of everyday objects. Used all lowercase to help with the mood. 

empty, 
like a tin can dented, 
by the side of the road. 

empty, 
like a barren, cold 
pipe and stove. 
 
empty, 
like a roadside clerk’s  
dusty till. 
 
empty, 
like a gaping hole, 
crying for fill. 
 
empty, 
like an abandoned old, 
steel mill town. 
 
empty, 
like the moment after 
you let me down.
