Divoc
The Dark Night of the Soul
is when she sits in isolation
in her bedroom because her physical body is a biological threat
to her family.
Her baby who she loves was taken away from her
Like the Black Plague people move to other towns
if they could afford to do so but not her.
Her thoughts run from fear to death
because the rumors has it that someone else in the family
died from it.
Two-weeks is a long time for a mother and caregiver to be flat on her back and
no one to care for her- her mother drops food off in the lobby.
Even God has abandon her and does not answer her prays to end the painful dark nights when her body is throbbing in pain.
Trust the Science so they say and deny the Church and she does by taking an experiment treatment that may have save Trump's life.
But what of her life and her soul
But what of her life and her soul
Halloween is just a few days away but will she survive the nights.
