A thread in our lives
That never unravels
Pinching at the seam
Of our civilization
As an unhealed cut
Bleeds, even in dribbles
Pains us until
We learn to ignore
We can watch
And not see
We can see
But not register
Each one matters
Loved ones shattered
Potential lost
Over before the bell
A flame
Might flicker
A flame
Might end
Light it again
Open the cut
Pinch the seam harder
Feel the pain
