Today I Grieve

Today I grieve... and tomorrow. Every tear that falls on the second jaw is there because of gravity, or sorrow has something to do with it-- my leaking groundward as fingers grasp my crown probing deep into scalp for an answer-- when nothing more is found but wet scraps of hair.

Thank you, Michael. For now it is fiction, but this does describe the angst and depth of grief of myself and others at the loss of a loved one, even if in the past.
