Inspiration piece
Everyone Hurting
By Jennifer Fendya
Response
Everyone
…..hurting
everyone too
…..tight and
…..heavy, too
weary and
…..oppositional,
each one seeking an exit
…..stage left stage right
This angry snake
…..(clutch it hard now, sharp
…..talons grasping)
biting the tail
that feeds it
Another news cycle
…..(spin it hard now, death
…..wishes preying)
feeding the tale
that swallows us
self-referential self consumed
Spotlit heart
…..breaking
…..again and again and again
Blood-sport
sacrifice
again and again and again
oh Great
Goddess! make
US whole again, forgive
US, cleanse
US, teach
US, don’t leave
US, alone
here
everyone
hurting
everyone
