Reflection on the tragedy in Nice, France

Darkening skies

A Festival time on the waterfront,

Celebration hours for the crowds

who gathered on a summer night.

Strolling hand in hand,

     in the South.

Weep for the loss of lives, though

that is insufficient response, their

love and still, silent mouths, torn.

Broken shapes, motionless

under darkened skies.
