Passage Poems: #15
by Miles Raymer
At the top of the hill of possible grief,
Is where I meet it,
Or it meets me.
We join in mutual expiration,
Breath comes ragged,
If it comes,
At all.
In the haze of the night of possible grief,
Is where we feel it,
A loving ambush, all prepared.
It watches, companionable
Offering the comfort,
That welcomes us down,
Into soil.
On the blank of the page of possible grief,
Is where I see it,
Filling the newly empty spaces.
Abiding, ever-ending absence,
If it comes,
At all.
I visit your page time to time when I run into a writer’s roadblock and your work has done wonders. Thank you for this.
Hopeful to see you coke back soon.
Wow, thank you so much, Susi! That is so kind and I’m happy to hear that my writing has helped to nurture your own process at times. I have definitely been writing less over the last couple years while making my way through grad school, but I recently graduated so will have a bit more time for blog writing again. 🙂
