If there is a way
to process the enormity
of what has transpired—
let it reveal itself.

Its hugeness threatens to crush me;
too visceral to explain,
too painful to share,
and it is not going to go away.

They say that you can eat the proverbial elephant
by taking one bite at a time;
conquer the highest mountains
step by step; one foot in front of the other.
But how can anyone know where to begin
when pain’s vast vortex
threatens to subsume them whole?

And so, 
I will wait,
taking some small comfort in knowing
my pain is temporary;
its immensity enfolded beneath the beauty
of your limitless sky.
