3305. GRIEF HAS A FUTURE

GRIEF HAS A FUTURE

It is said (I've heard it said) that

grief has a future  -  with eyes you

can recognize, with a face that bears

resemblance (bears resemblance nightly

to a million things). I will write these notes,

and keep them (keep them here, by this

candlelit nook). She is crying again, and 

all those raging teardrops roll down her face.

-

In the alcove and hallway, there is a little,

dim shining, a reflection of something old,

or something new in passing. Something

passes (something passes that way, away).

It seems to be a living thing, yet flickers,

fades, and then  -  it too  -  passes.

(It too passes away).
