No-one says anything
I don’t say anything
The world smashes on
smashes on
If I’m all gone in the eyes
it doesn’t stop the children crowing
as they install cursors and wallpapers.
Harry Potter smiles from his important playworld.
A piebald rabbit mesmerically comes and goes.
A tabby kitten poises itself in a meadow.
America continues.
Australia continues.
Diagnosis, treatment, remission, relapse.
My inbox fills with email
black with anger
white with prayer
My hardcore heart detaches itself, makes this
