grief
grieving, sudden waves of sadness
surges of pain and trauma escape from my recesses
my eyes resembling a whale's blowhole
forgotten heartache surfacing
triggered by the present
grief
grieving, no manners, no considerations
unruly and out of hand or carefree and flowing
in this moment, it clears my mind and redirects it to ache
grief
grieving, arriving all mixed up
losses so many it's hard to know who one is grieving today
just a flood from the pit inside reaching up, wanting to exit
grief
grieving, it's just there, all of it the sadness, the loss,
the empty heart space, feelings that overwhelm,
feelings that become misplaced and misdirected
because so much has been lost, the loss, the longing, sadness
