If you popped over here from Facebook - thank you! I couldn't format on that platform and this short piece has a message - a hint if you will - to the subject matter of the poem.
Almost One
...but still I have this
Dilemma. Where is the box
Big enough to hold my grief
How do I seek
Nepenthe. Magic potion
Elixir. Cocktail of
Altered consciousness
Where is relief
Easing of heartache
Soothing of pain
Smoothness of emotion
Schoolchildren should never be
Concerned with two things
Being hungry and being shot
Moms raise babies. Not targets
…but still I have this quandary
Where is the box to
Banish bereavement
Expel maternal anxiety
