of you – joy, sorrow, madness
unraveled, calm, pain –
no indication except
the capacity to contain

sorrow sneaks in with
too much joy, no terrain is

there is something to
there is something to
childhood friends –
rock, paper, scissors –
agreeing to one-up
each other for the
rest of eternity,
building strength
to face the rest of it all

to tell the truth, as soon
to tell the truth, as soon
as i have settled into
the wait at the gate,
boarding pass in hand,
homeward bound,
i am split into two –
one in anticipation,
with joy, the other,
already in the future,
sitting at another
gate, heart
untangling the
strings that keep
pulling me
home, taut with
renewed longing –
waiting to be whole

between two lakes and
immeasurable sorrow,
memories of you
float to the surface, how could
we have been so close, yet so far

on days like these, beneath
the mostly muted sky,
the sun takes indulgences,
kisses adoration into the
cobblestone streets, kneads
radiance into each curve,
taking time to rehearse
the escape, to permit
in his absence a forbidden
phosphorescing, a public
grief, a shimmering sorrow

sorrow shelved
sorrow shelved
is a funny thing –
it does not collect
dust, and no spider
leans a strand of her
home against it
out of the corner
of the eye, sorrow
appears
pristine, newly
polished, easily,
too easily,
within reach
i am not ready
i am not prepared
i am a sliver of
myself, approaching
another anniversary
of our loss, not whole
