Whispers

When every day appears the same 
as every other single day 
I sit alone, record the toll 
of those who grieve and suffer loss 
while I look on 
with weary eye and feeling numb 
binge-watch and comfort-eat my way 
through endless hours, stare at screens 
sometimes to see another face 
stare back at me 
and speak in whispers. 

 Edward Rhodes (2021)
