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
