A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 13

Day 13: “Splintering”


Change happens

But is it really change

if the foundation is splintered, wilted, not a foundation at all


Not capable of lifting us up

of pushing us all forward?


How do we rebuild?


Rallying cries and gestures raise attention, awareness


But the problem is bigger


A collapsing structure that never worked for anyone anyway,

Not for everyone, not for anyone


Do we let it fall?

Or do we patch the cracks?
