stanch

could I
I would
somedays
most certain
stanch the news
with some tourniquet
rendered from pictures
of kittens and gifs of pandas
playing in snow like eager puppies
but still reality intrudes and sure naught
can stop the juggernaut of woe and so
we must let the blood freely flow
press the wound as best we can
hoping help arrives before
death's shock begins
