Isn’t there enough stoney
lifelessness pelting like hail,
chasing children down alleyways,
too scared to scream, safety’s lap now
gone, a void, missing, but where?
Pulling that tooth for no reason,
sandpapering the old child’s heart,
spoonfeeding loss? Alas.

Thanks so much for looking for the poem. It must be my 80 years that interferes with my mastering the Mr. Lucky…

I think pain can be handled in many ways.. But picking at scabs is not the best way to heal a wound.

Maybe that’s why it’s hard to write an elegy…

Truly a loss when children have no place of safety…I can relate. It leaves them floundering. This is a raw message, Nan, thanks for sharing. There are two links up for you but neither one connected to a poem. I’m assuming this one was written for the elegy prompt.
