Purveyors of fine poetry since 2003.
If there were just this:
a place where the living
and the dead could meet
to make their peace
free from all pain
and fear, anger and
isolation
then just this
would be sufficient
and we’d have no need
for any other heaven.
In response to Via Negativa: Social Kissing.

Simple and clear as water, and as necessary. If hell is other people, so is heaven.
Indeed. Thank you, Mary.
