Companion poem for chapter 17 of the R.M. Dolin novel, "What Is to Be Done"
Read chapter
The numbing weight of life
draws down lingering
light that once was
everything that mattered.
In the darkness
all that’s left is
the hope that
alternate endings
are still possible.
From the R.M. Dolin novel, “What Is to Be Done.” Jake relives the tragic night he drove Emelia to the emergency room and they began their good-bye.
