this loss
becomes her forum for mourning
spoken, shared
and pangs, Oh
the w r e n c h i n g
shedding tears
payloads;
unloaded
unkempt
undone
such need
(as ever before)
just felt
with complete, oozing barrenness
stripped
grief’s acid dripped
across tongue and eyes
never to speak the same
never to see the same
never to be the same
the grief inside of me
different, but the same
crushing load
of loneliness
separation, keen
unspeakable
and such jealousy, burning
for reuniting
for righting
for healing
