The Desk is Empty

Teen Accidental Overdose or Suicide.

Lone Heart © Brooklyn Muse

The desk is empty,

as are our hearts.

Faculty, students, staff, community.

Family.

Fentanyl in English, Fentanilo in Spanish-

Alfintanil in Arabic, Fentanil in Italian-

The language does not matter.

We all bleed red.

This powerful opioid has taken another young life.

Mixed with marijuana today was a killer.

Little did we know.

The heart is heavy for the young life now passed.

The rage again toward the dealers will last.

There is no poem here.

No words of wisdom- so, move on-

There is only a struggle — begone.

How do we stop the madness?

How do we show we care?

Today I will sit still alone- with tears -

with a multitude of prayers.

If you choose to you may — Buy me a coffee?
