It has been gray for the last 5 days. The smoke has descended into my mind.
I sit here in the middle of the night, the dark all around. I cant see the smoke, but I know that it is there.
I want to get in my car and drive, till I hit blue sky. I know the light is still there, but I can’t see it.
I see the light of love in others, but I cant look up and feel connected to the sky.
I feel only this unremmitting pall. Oh, why love, has though forsaken me.
