we will look back and

we will look back and
name these moments as golden –
so much gratitude

amidst pain and suffering,
loss and never going back

finally, spring is

finally, spring is
peeking over the hedges, and
you have decided

to give up, let go, peel away
from this corporal suffering

if we really want

if we really want
it enough, work harder, be
perfect, overcome

affliction, change perspectives,
it can all be attainable

after being split

after being split
beyond recognition, set
aside time to heal

stop struggling, and

stop struggling, and
suffering will dissipate –
an applied science

in your mother tongue,

in your mother tongue,
you dream of open waters,
another kind of

suffering. in a foreign
tongue, you wait for the same dream

again and again

again and again
i stumble
upon pain,
failing to grasp
the true nature
of things

yesterday’s fragment

yesterday’s fragment
of grief was only shorthand
for today’s suffering

when nothing hurts
everything hurts

there is no one
to whom i can
pin this bouquet
of wrung rivers

since your departure

since your departure
each passing day is
a suffering
Rauschenberg
tenderly, yet still
so violently,
erasing
the de Kooning
i will miss
the most
