No words emerge.
No tears,
Either.

All that is projected is confusion
And disbelief.

I am not a believer
That bad things happen to good people
I understand simply
That bad things do
Happen.

And usually
I’d quite enjoy
Talking to you
About my views on life and morality.
But I have not cried yet.
I have not spoken.

Another death
Tick list ready
One name down
Another to promise I’ll name my child
Received the update by email

A long personal detailed account
Of what happened
And what exactly went wrong.

All that is projected is confusion
And disbelief
That bad things like this
Could happen.
