They Come

I see them them come

from all directions

black dots

trickle

into a tide

I want to stand in front

push them away

shout “stop”

“no, don’t come”

“it’s a mistake”

“he’s not dead”

 

but still they come.

beautiful and heartbreaking share. i think the amazing thing about this piece is that you really convey that sense of disconnect from people. that ultimate lonliness and futile anger against ritual and how life goes on.

that didn't come out very eloquently but i think you get what i mean.

thank you for sharing.

It's difficult to accept what we fear the most. Peace. ~pat

Bittersweet thing this is. So much yet so little is said. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

"from all directions ... black dots ...trickle ....into a tide" is the kind of metaphor a good poet wakes up from a deep sleep to write down. very well done.

It reminds me of the shock one goes into after receiving the news of a loved ones death. An emotional write, uniquely done.
