It’s hard for me to/
fathom why my heart hurts for/
one I don’t know well.*
OR
*someone I just met.
AND
Why/
do I/
empathize?/
Is that a surprise?/
Or just me/
and charity?

If I knew her, I/
would give her a hug. I don’t,/
so I’ll pray for her.
Death’s just a gate, but/
to we who must wait, it’s a/
wall we wet with tears.
One of her childhood/
heroes died. I don’t know how/
to say I’m sorry.
