Untitled Print
“The world in all its anger/ There’s always more to come”

The words hit me like a canon ball
But
Shielded by a cushion of liquor
My mind could just stumble in a drunken gawkiness

I knew what I felt
So I quickly scrambled together the right words to say

Powerless
In the face of an indomitable foe
I could but wallow in pity and pain
And shame
Of not even being able to protect her

Where’s God when you really need him?
