the tv has been cruel to me lately,
with more and more bad news
about the numberless souls
who have departed
in droves
in torrents
leaving behind a deluge
of grief
and sorrow
Pushing the living
into an abyss of indescribable despair
….forcing the marriage of engaged thoughts
I don’t know what to do
and I feel guilty
because I’m overwhelmed
by having to stay indoors
bored and even more bored
and slightly anxious about the future
while I protect my heart
from the pain that hovers
just outside
my window
