grief beyond understanding
1. what is it called when
a grandmother sits on
the front pew of
a church and watches
a casket shut with her
oldest child inside
2. who holds the pain
cast out from the wails
of sisters who don’t
yet know how they will
ever pick up
from here
3. where does a young
daughter go after her
greatest source of love
is rested into the cold
deep of the earth
&
4. what say death for all
of the broken hearts found
laying at its feet?

So sorry for your loss.
oh what is it called. There is a place where words themselves scatter into nothing but sound. what a heart wrenching poem
