In conjunction with my sabbatical, I took the summer off from posting. Not sure if I’ll continue the weekly posts or go back to occasional. I wrote over 50 poems on sabbatical, so I may put a bunch in one post. Regardless–I will put this one here; I also posted it on Facebook.
It’s a groaning season — I’m up to 20 untimely (and a few more expected/timely/but painful nonetheless) deaths in the worlds I am close to in the last 5 months. It’s nuts, and … oh, the groaning.
This is sort of about that, or at least fits the groaning theme … but it’s actually about more/different than that. See how it hits you. It’s funny to say this about one’s own poem, but like is often the case, it feels sorta like it wrote me, rather than me writing it … so I’ve been musing on it and seeing lots of stuff in it.
The last line is a specific reference to something (Google it if you need help), which itself was a reference to something in the Bible (KJV version). That’s in play.
