Kerri Shying R # 281 - Retire


Retire

we used to sleep adrift
on the endless sea   the murders
caressing round our ears

you said
I can’t watch it
anymore  

what happened to our
Kevlar-drawn and curtained 
hearts   when
did the place get safe

padded with still air   no
 not enough
to sleep

    Love it. "The murders caressing round our ears" - can you tell the volume down, change channels, curtain the hearts more?
