Still

Still

It is still.
It met with death
so slowly, so
gradually, so
barely noticeably.

Fading finally
out of its necessary,
right now existence,
there was no one
to be left behind.

There was no one
left to touch this grief.
We are alone, we have
no one, you know, to
share deep mourning with.

Velvet blackness cloaks
the funeral night, night,
which grieves starless.

I Heard The Roses Dying

I Heard The Roses Dying

I heard the roses dying.
I could not tell you this.
You would understand.
I could not say they
were a lost part of us.

Petals scattered
upon the soil, it will
look pretty for awhile.

Speak softly in their
presence, and have no
tear upon your cheek.
It was not our fault, their
dying, it was not us.

I already posted how Trump is slowing down mail: former post was

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13884924. Now it seems I have another slow down this time regarding my health. From my health insurance company I received a bubble wrapped pink envelope. In it was a lab test and collection kit. This arrived end of july. I followed the instructions and mailed it back on August 3rd.Today, 8/14, of which I received a message on my answering machine that if I hadn't received the kit to call or if I did to please return the completed test. The postpaid return envelope in red letters said "TIME-SENSITIVE" Obviously the lab test just "mysteriously disappeared". Hope Trump rots in hell.

Gop blaming peaceful protests and ignoring white supremacists, Boogaloo Bois, etc. These “peaceful” protests that include arson and assault have left a mark on our cities, our culture, and our country.
