Dispair Poem by Frank Avon

Dispair



For hours and hours
I still stare
out my window,
my eyes sightless
my mind void
nothing there

I sit and sit
and wait and wait
my coffee cold
my arms folded
my fingers spread
on my chest

nothing else
to
say

Reading this one, Frank, I notice and appreciate your use of simple words and brevity. I have a poem (which I can’t find in PH right now) where I too cup in my hands a mug of coffee, early in the morning, and close with “sometimes dawn comes too early.” -Glen

Those who can understand that depth despair, yet still go on, are few and special
