All days seem the same

by Bozena Helena Mazur-Nowak

The outside world is waiting to be healed

but blinds cover the windows

and pain clings like a demon with sharp claws

and the way out is like the Way of the Cross.

On the threshold the pain stumbles over despair

and in the bedroom guarding memories, curled tightly,

a ginger cat gloomily meows.

There is a void that cannot be filled

when children leave the nest before they are ready to fly.

The nights are darker, all days seem the same.

Unshed tears hover, waiting to fall.

We stare at the blue bike standing orphaned in the hallway

and ask ourselves – Why?
