she slept soundly.
no news yet
that her favorite bartender
had given up heroin
for the last time
no new yets
that a gentle co-worker
died under a desert sun
while trying to save the world
no news yet
that a beloved songbird
soared so far into the heavens
she couldn’t return
no news yet
that no shelter be given
to the hungry, persecuted, swollen with child
if they be poor
soundly, she slept
This one’s for you, Balls..
sleep well and in peace
