"Into that empty space of not knowing- a space sometimes colored with righteous resentment at what could have been cowardice, stupidity, or bad luck- that empty space of no definitive news was filled now with a brand-new sorrow, and who could tell how many more on the way."
-Toni Morrison Beloved
a silence and a sob
wrestle to fill the space
where a promise used to be.
