Mayfield, KY Daylight Drone Footage Aftermath - December 11, 2021
Where I sit, the world
is quiet, unassuming.
Snow falls & becomes
rain, rain falls
& becomes snow.
I write on a pad of paper
& think of the tea
steeping in the cup next to me.
200 miles away in Kentucky
The wind shook the world
And my friends died.
