a solid calender year
by Vikki Owensit filled me with such grief
i thought a veil had covered me,
and wishing to transcend was a plea
that filled my heart and empty dreams.
such heartless, hollow things
these birdboned memories
of loving and then losing you
and loveless, being left destitute,
a coldness buried in my bones
the home of all the feelings i have left
a marrowless, organless place within my chest.
still,
within the cycles of the sun
i have found a meaning to the grief.
a solid calender year
has passed in front of me
and taught me how to heal. 12/03/2011 Posted on 12/03/2011
