Pink Slip – A Tanka

Catatonic stare

“Sorry, we must let you go”

Hits like a brick wall

Slow, hard and painful at first

Then it numbs you to the core

    I like how you captured the feeling of receiving a pink slip. It’s a feeling I know all too well…

      I’m sorry to hear that you have had to go through this as it can be devastating. Fortunately it only happened to me once, but that doesn’t make the event any easier to bare.
