Places

Red plastic crosses
And symbols of something of loss
And agony. And denial
And shared moons that we no longer share.

Because we don't want to look at it anymore.
No more.  At least not for now.
While we fight the grieving
And steel ourselves against feeling.

For now.

There's no fast forward through
The spiders and pigeons
And surgeries and leaks and blue dye symbolism
We all know that; we know it.

But here we are, in unison
A great, screaming primal need
For peace, at so many costs
We have a place, my friends.

We have a place.

Something so many people don't,
Not even deep inside themselves.
And asking for something more is hedonistic
I will suffer this with you my friend.

And will be here on the other side of it. You've my word.
