Sorry if several of these are kind of a downer - I learnt that someone I knew in school had died and... yeah.
I kind of worked through some stuff (the poems for 13th Sep will show you that,) so feel free to skip anything that's bringing you down!
9th September
Nothing deserves pity
More than those
who fear love & compassion
& turn instead to hate
Poor lost soul,
Find your way home soon
13th September (I)
How am I supposed to feel?
They say you died;
A casual friend;
I hadn't heard your name in years.
How am I supposed to feel?
Tell me.
13th September (II)
Do I have a right to grieve?
5 years or more -
Must have been
Never close, even then
Just two birds of the same flock
One bird now dead
13th September (III)
A background fixture,
Left behind when I left the room.
Weren't you younger than me?
Or was it a few days older?
Young & pretty & dead
17th September
No matter
How dark
It may be
There is light
There is good
You are loved
23rd September
2016
The year of mean.
Have my tears,
But cariad, I'm gonna sing
Over the heads of abject liars -
Reaching ears that may hear
me
2016
