A Sad Story

I will tell you about sadness
that is the scrap of flesh on the very tip of my toes 
to the highest point of my skull. 
I can tell you what about sadness- 
when I lay my head back for a fortnight- 
missing meals, missing knocks on my doors, 
missing one’s absence inside my head, 
and surviving- surviving still.
But when I write about sadness, 
I shall write about you. 
I shall write about a story that
was never given a chance to start.
