“The world is ending
——The world is ending…”
I delete social media.

I turn on the news,
U.S.—186,101 cases
Number growing
U.S.—4,600 dead
Number growing
Montco, home, 10 dead.
Number growing.

I turn off the tv.

I sit in silence staring
Through a dark window.
The beginning,
How’s one suppose
to sleep.

Tomorrow,
sunny skies and
darkness
Looms.

“God,
if you’re listening—
Help.”

I get up,
wash my hands
And I go back
To bed
bed,

alone

“God,
If you’re listening,
some hope,
Please. “
