No Explanation – A Poem by Brandon White

Hello Friends,

Today marks two years since my Fathers passing. A free verse poem waits below.

No Explanation:

Outside this window,
the cycle continues 
without my participation,
without my permission,
without regard

Inside its heartburn
and headaches and silence
only interrupted by my phone 
dancing across the nightstand
with condolences 

This morning, I tried 
to explain heaven
and stopped
halfway
through


-Brandon White
