Pierced


The sky pierced by a cloud, 
A heart pierced by yet another story 
Of betrayal and abuse, 
And we retreat again into a smaller world; 
Attempting to ignore the cavalcade of news, 
Knowing there’s little we can do to turn the tide; 
No march, no knitted hats with ears this year: 
We huddle by the fireside 
Whispering our fears.
