Tonight I felt a dark moment,

what inside my mind seemed

well beyond a typical day.

I was suddenly retracing steps,

listening to news that repeated

itself all week long.

Tonight it all felt unfamiliar the way

it only rattled my mind with no

explanation.

I struggled with where and when

and who the news might reveal.

Everything felt already said.

If my mind is capable of such loss,

I want to believe. 

I’d like to know.
