In Place
“I can’t look anymore. It makes me feel too sick.” (overheard)
I am going
crazy with anger.
No, grief.
I am not going
to lose my grip
on goodness.
I am going
to stop panicking
over emergencies.
I am not going
to listen to the news
which is breaking.
I am going
to focus on people
I know.
I am not going
to try to solve anything
else.
I am going
to rest in the library
of new and selected dreams.
I am not going
to promise I am going
anywhere.
If you need me,
Wait here.
