tomorrow we will stare
tomorrow we will stare
loss in the face with one-
hundred-and-eighty-one
coats of fatigue, a mouthful
of twigs tinged with
grief, rootlets shaken
from comfort, three or four
wistful feathers, and a found
string. like birds, we have
increased our chances of
survival by camouflaging
our heavy hearts

Another strong poetic bouquet of grief, splayed out fetchingly
with fresh imagery, and imaginative wordsmithing. I like this one.
thank you so much!! (smile) hope all’s well.
