grief
six haikus on grief
your quiet sorrow
wakes me from the winter night
to sit by your side
a drink to warm you
a friend to hear every word
my arms to rest in
kiss the pain goodbye
watch it board the westbound train
are you lonely now?
these are the phantoms
fingers around our ankles
demons rising up
offer up your skin
a sacrifice to the grief
but keep your heart close
i will cry your tears
let your agony scar me
together, we mourn
