A Gray Day

What a gray day and dark world
we live in,
when the second-born is murdered
and the oceans and sunrises, too,
plot to kill their children.
Jenni can't sleep at night,
scared of the dark,
of the absence.
She clutches her pillow
because even it is uncertain
in this dying place.
What world do you live in? She asks.
Not yours.
My world is too bright for the dark details.
I can't sleep at night
because love has no curfew.
And I clutch my pillow
because my cheek can't calm
unless it feels a bedtime story.
And Jenni plays in black and white,
Charlie Chaplin in my Nora Ephron
storybook ending--
put down your cane, dear.
Your color is too bright to teeter
on fear and doubt.
