Needs
need coffee
even though decaf
one-half cup
gets me up
old age causes adjustments
in lifestyle to be made
when death comes
it hurts to the core
emptiness
loneliness
they arrive each day, linger
thoughts to share pop-up
coffee's jolt
can't heal depth of pain
time can heal
or so said
healing does need to happen
where life can go on
how long, long
how long will it take
woodpecker's
tapping sounds
distracts temporarily
tears return, grief flows
