I've been avoiding the news all week, not wanting to hear the extent of the horrors and the aftermath. This morning, I watched the only show I'll watch to get news/opinions and the only journalist who I trust to cover the whole story. Thanks for your poem today, Phyllis. There's just not a lot more to say.
