Intelligibly indigestible

by T.P. Wilkinson / November 20th, 2022

Among the thoughtless

Another year nighs its end.
Do smoking pillars days portend
Past three years of heavy breathing
Nothing reveals signs of easing.
Another fear each day awaits
Health and hearth intimidates
Thoughts for food upon the table
Among the thoughtless and disabled.
