June 15 2017 – After Grenfell
I have
Nothing to say tonight
I have no response
To others tweets
And no emoticons
For my friends
On social media
Tonight I am just a voyeur
Of everyday lives
That soup of insignificances
And magnificent achievements
And everything in between
But I have no voice
Tonight
The thoughts I have
Feel immense
And heavy in my heart
There is so much to say
But I can’t find the words
Tonight
