Love From England

Jan 20, 2017 18:53

My heart has been hurting all day. Tomorrow is the London Women’s March, in solidarity with my American sisters (and everyone else). In the meantime here’s a sonnet for America, from England. Or possibly for all my American siblings in the struggle from me.

I can't bring myself to watch anything having to do with today. This all feels like the beginning of a mediocre Kurt Vonnegut novel. :(

My country is a complete embarrassment right now.

Thanks for the love from across the way.

It's about England being internet friends with America - i.e.vhow the experience of being internet friends with someone in another country who self-harms is not unlike the experience of being English and watching Trump happen to the US, and also about sending love and support to the US from England.
