Wasted, bitter, died of grief,
Terrifies the villagers.

Yet place no check on corporate greed.

We kissed and came to grief:
With braces on her teeth,
She stapled my lips together.

And with it, grief.
How come I want none of the liberation
Letting go brings?

Shields prevent not unseen undermined.
Swords deeper not as when Loved One's depart.

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS
Her sewing basket did my grief ease,
Inside: a rock of pink quartz (for peace),
On old paper, a prayer:
“Give to Him all your cares”,
Scissors and her gentle expertise.

to be truly free
requires a studied absence of care
living to truly see
a world through open eyes aware
unencumbered by belief

Bells echo around the land
Till the hour strikes

The star has fallen
Unexpectedly somewhere the star has fallen,
Having dropped a thin ray of hope.
And the trains have rushed along the world
To shout about great grief, about unearthly love.

a good yarn: grief relief
When words don't help
Knit and purl the agony out
