I have little talent for friendship,
Few resources to combat oblivion,
Depression or loneliness.
Perhaps we are not alone in the end.
As long as we can
Join family and friends
At meals,
Laugh and argue
Or, sit silently in a room
With a sad friend,
Or, as long as someone
Invites me along
Or, says
“Glad you’re back”
As long as we’re welcome
Somewhere,
For all our whims and frailties,
There’s still hope.
