Description
I’ve thumbed through collections, searchingfor a psalm more reassuring than David’s,
but I’ve found nothing to satiate
her sadness dog.
It’s circling.
It wants to lay on the bed,
but will not sleep.
It scratches at the doors
but doesn’t want to play.
It follows her to the kitchen
but there is nothing there
it wants to eat.
It will not let her leave
the TV, grey heavy body
pinning her to the lies.
It has shredded the blanket-safety
with its dulled teeth,
and hidden the bits beneath the couch.
I cannot find them
like I cannot find
the words.
