Threshold Hum


between the hush and the cry
we lean into what we can’t quite tell
to the same

a door ajar, no key in sight
a sigh half-swallowed in the throat
grief is hope with no shame

we neither stay nor fully stray
our shadows dance without a shell
and laugh, as if the blur was to blame

your words are insightful and profound. They stir something in me. I especially liked 'grief is hope with no shame.'
