Grief is a solitary room,
a place you sit in alone.

Over time that room stretches;
grief becomes a shared landscape,
the mourned being landscape itself—
not gone, but part of the air
that settles around each connection.

It turns into a kind of weather
you move through
and breathe.

    1. Damn, Bricky, you may be right. It’s been a while since I’ve been anywhere where grief is part of the landscape, but I recall times when I have been among those who are helplessly lost in their grief at the loss of a loved one, and the air was palpably thick with it, cloying, making it difficult to breathe. You are absolutely correct, my friend!
