placing a stone
how to embrace
this no small loss
before the letting go
runs its course
is left to me alone
with only memory
to apprentice me
in what is unbearable
and exquisitely alive

This is a moving small lyric. Makes me want to meditate on it while holding what my daughter calls a wishing rock.
A lovely moving poem
Conveys feeling in strong words creating images. Touching
with only memory
to apprentice me
in what is unbearable
and exquisitely alive
All of it really–lovely.
