a truly dark day

I have avoided the news today. I only just at 4:00 felt maybe it was safe to listen as my radio shifted from Stravinsky to the BBC. I couldn’t bear to listen as play by play descriptions of this day’s spectacle of despair were trickled into my ear and pooled like mercury in my mind’s eye. I have spent no money. I am wearing black. I just wish I had the opportunity and the gumption of those who took a public stand. I will not give up the fight, but today I feel defeated.
