Burials
"I have dug my way out the ground with palm and fist many times,
my whole life has been one burial after another, I will find my way
out of you." -rupi kaur
______________
"Your death was a selfish act . . .
driving your car off a cliff-
the pain you held ended that day but not for me
I have fallen in pits of darkness since-
but have found my inner strength and become strong
I have buried all those I love, including you-
I will go on and be just fine, my love . . . "
