a few words saved

perhaps i'll start,
again,
with a thin, little
book of things

a few words saved
from this grief
or that,
something

from along the edge
where it's
not too fierce
or deep

(god knows
i couldn't
handle that)

where sudden torrents
once released can
never be
put back

(how then
might i explain
the silences
that ring,

the careful steps
upon the stair
still taken
as if
you were
here...)

that child is lost

this sadness
over losing the baby
is palpable,
he said.

it's not as if
he's died,
she said.

the caring,
sensitive child
he was
will not survive where
he now is;

that child
is lost
to us,
he said...

really - so many words ... I don't have them.

ironic that pain can make a common bond

I'll shut up now.

Peace
