carrying on
it’s not a matter of what you think
you deserve or don’t deserve
or whether or not everything is
fair in love & war
or if karma is only something
that’s imagined
oh no at this stage the only thing
that seems to matter
is how you’ll carry on once everything
you ever cared about
has been systematically taken
away from you
march two thousand twenty-five
