Broken Night
XUANTING LIU
Abyss is where the lights don’t shine
Where? Here. Not enough food and wine
When the struggles POP left and right
Even more futile as day becomes harsher Night
The holidays. The spirit. It’s this giving season
Just give a little to feel good inside. ‘Motivation
to give happiness for a day.’ Just a day…
whereas the blessings aren’t plenty today
So, you have the rest of year. Rest of the days to cry
to spend dreaming of a place where there were no lies
and to be honest, there are people out there
who have nothing. And somewhere
someone’s guilty and trying to do something
but only a day… How vain, how cold, how startling.
