Letter of Sorrows

by Ananya S. Guha / June 26th, 2016

This letter of sorrows
this unholy drift
this whirlpool of massacre
this sordid rift
what is in death
makes it alluring,
race and kindred
so bewildering
prayers will continue
as they must
take out the dagger
break the bust
images are hollow
seekers are none.

This summer of sorrows
woebegone.
