| “Into the Void” by DINA D’ARGO, 56, SPRINGFIELD, TENN. Acrylic on canvas via The Washington Post. “‘Into the Void’ symbolizes stepping into the unknown — the idea of life ‘after the pandemic’ and the insecurity of not knowing what lies ahead.” |
still burrowing —
drowning in yesterday's time
past grips us in its palm
wounds
still wet
still dripping
memories
still clear
still swimming
cave of unforgotten sorrow —
echoes in the dark
