Days of the Dead

By Eva-Maria Sher

neon lit email icon over black background

Every morning another link
in the chain mail
of desperate news

Ever greater numbers
of souls departing in the arms
of strangers

Our hearts paralyzed
our minds exhausted—can’t
comprehend their magnitude

Dear One
the maravillas I wanted
to offer for your soul

Succumbed
to an unexpected
frost
