The Day after the Inauguration

by Leave a comment

Good news mixed with bad today.

This morning, sadness and helplessness 

overwhelm as the car radio blasts

the executive orders now in place.

And then…personal good news. 

A CT scan that’s clear. I should be 

happy, and I am thankful, but

when others are violently thrown

into turmoil and fear spreads, 

how can I possibly be?
