Tea and biscuits

Tea and biscuits
My heart is heavy today
It’s a hard morning
A friend has gone away
Dead in the night
Ended his life
It’s a hard mourning
Across different lands
In different cities
Around me people are still trying, still moving
A contrast
All roads intersect here
Going everywhere at once
Connected
In loss
In travel
In time
I’ll continue to sit in these places
I’ll continue to mourn
With nothing set before me
Except for maybe some tea and biscuits
