enough



with what language
could i possibly remedy?
the understandable wound
i have inflicted

with what melody
could i possibly sing?
that would quiet
your suffering

for upon seeing
i sunk into despair
my stomach twisted
and my heart twinged

the murderous darkness
of my silence
that followed
my carelessness

if only there were
expressions of solace
i could offer you
that could be enough
