in connecticut

there are days we should not speak.
The days when things are too close
and yet just far enough.
Things like this happen every where,
but we are isolated from screams and pain.
Children are killed,
ripped from mother's embrace.
This was too close,
it reminds us that this world is not safe
and never has been.

There is no rhetoric or chastisement that is needed at this time,
only silence.
