Post 86 - Sadness (poem)

They need
a better word, something
deeper for days like today.

For lines full of food stamp
users, unable to feed
their family, pride
chipped to the bone
as technology rejects
them.

For skies so wet and gray
it seems sunlight will never
shine

For bright children, states
away. Unreachable for hugs
and silly whispers.

For Her, confused and frustrated,
struggling like Atlas. Beautiful.
Then again

maybe

that word perfectly
captures the day.
