Sometimes
I barely keep breathing
winded
gutted
witnessing the pain
and trauma
of friends
neighbours
fellow humans
Sometimes
the next breath
seems impossible
sucked away
by horrorintensityhopelessness
And yet…it comesthe next breathin and outThe resolveanother breathis resistance~ L. Kelley, October 2018
