    my hands fall off the keys
    music still hangin
    in the air above me
    but my body loses it
    bench shiftin underneath me
    legs forgettin where they belong

    and I drop

    knees crackin against the floor
    spine snappin
    as my head falls back
    eyes wide and mouth open

    • Shock and unreliability of the news is highly felt on this

    • I can’t even comprehend a loss this magnitude. All I can offer is the humble hope that you will find at least a modicum of peace in the writing.
