#OctPoWriMo 2021 — Day 6: “Someone Said There Was a Blackout”

there’s so many
blowing whistles
you would think
someone would take heed

weaving a tapestry of truth
in a code only familial tongues
can decipher

Cover of “Yesterday” with Annie

I am a burden with a mouth.

Underground, like the
basements up north, cold
catacombs…

the love medicine is too strong
