best of 2023 • Nicholas Krgovich • Cup Full

The little light left in the sky goes soft and slow,


As I fill up the house with depressing music “hi ho”.



What do I know?...



The running list of things I try to get to today,


Now leaning the kitchen wall,


The garden dark, the windows dark,


Have I had enough?



What do I know?
...



Have I been making do,


Trying to keep this cup full,


Been trying to keep this cup full but for who?
