Some poems aren’t about beauty
Some poems don’t ascend into the light
Some poems aren’t about stained glass
Or uplifting
They are about the stains
The detritus
Of a life
Desperation takes a lot of forms
But at the end
The end
Somebody has to deal with it
Not vicariously
In reality, up close and personal
Life
Or the absence of it
Tonight
