Firsts

Grief comes,settles in the veins And then come the firsts Needling it to rise and erupt Crash and clamor First time as I land and inhale The air of my land Will it feel arid and alien Without your breath mixed in it? First time my sallow eyes Searching for a glimpse of you In the collage of faces Known and Unknown Written on:02/27/2016
