Down Day - Jan. 5, 2024

the clouds?   

torn and tired looking   

threadbare like my will

would love to ask them to gather  

invite mean thunder and pour

buckets of rain – I’d smirk at that

you know that feeling of defeat

when you throw everything at life

and walk away empty of emotion?

yes   the sun is setting

the clock is running out

and my head hangs low   

I guess you know

the day is lost

when you don’t

lift your eyes

to see if the moon

is depressed too
