Not Always Cozy Together Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Not always cozy together

We all make poems and quotes
We all read books and the anecdotes

We all sit together and talk about it
About wartime, war past, and some magic

war trauma, present drama, not in the schedule
but yes, but yes, we do not tell, but after

we climb on, yes yes we climb on to the highest peak
after that, the only option is the biggest flop

the only option that remains, is to fall
we do indeed fall,
we fall from the highest peak

but not with all of them, we fall from the highest peak
truly sad, is this what we seek? All alone
the only option is to fall downwards
all alone,
I cry
