A SONG FOR US

There is no more except what is
The polar bears cry
The whale fishes weep
We toss and turn in a restless sleep
You being you and me being me
Isn’t enough to stop the bleed
Off the table
Onto the floor
Down the street
Onto the shore
The murky water turns bright pink
We try to change
We try to think
I smell
You stink
With no clear sky
And nothing to drink

We are the sinners
These are our wrongs
The universe sings her one word song
Over and over and over again


Love
Love
Love
