in grief we write

i miss you so much

telling the most mundane of mundane and you’d agree

it’s mundane

kisses, soft and unexciting

like a good sleep

i look at the stars and wish i thought of you more

i am ill in my loneliness

more myself and less honest

I have been running as the tide rises

rises

rises up and i shut my eyes

surely to help

i miss you

like death, the only thing I can compare it to

like a giant hole that will be a hole

until my inner earth erodes

and it is a soft slope, shallower and shallower

after many years the flowers will spring brightly

it is like death to miss you and I do not know what to do with that

you see we both must go on living

in all this death we must keep living

you, in the sun, with salty curls

very far away from me
