Not clothing
Not makeup or paint on wall
Not a new suit or dress
Or nothing at all
No joy or celebration
No blue balloons dotting able sky
No rainbow sprinkles delighting a child on an ice cream
Beyond doom and gloom
This makes Depression look happy
The decision was adequate and then there was no goodbye
No note
No bridge or body
of water to search
The police could do nothing but close the building where another took their nobody life
Another shade of black
