The Skinny on Pity - Nov. 21, 2023

I’ve noticed empathy is like water


it can start as a steamy sigh

who’s vapor coalesces into clouds

which release and soak everything

and threaten to drown a soul


now in need of some

fast-acting sympathy

of its own someone else

to pull the plug


maybe a little good news


a break in the clouds


the peek of a morning sun
