GRIEF

VACANCY WITHIN,
FOR YEARS,
AN EMPTY HEART,
WITH LOVE,
FOR THE LITTLE GIRL,
BURST MY HEART,
NO JOY,
NO - SUBSTITUTE,
JUST TEARS,
TIRED, ---- MAYBE,
HOW LIGHTLY
SLIPPED THE YEARS;
MY DEAR, CLOSELY NEAR,
WOMANHOOD;......
WHAT... IS IT YOU SEE,
LOOK CAUTIOUSLY,
BE NOT HASTY,
TOUCH; YOUR HUNGRY HEART,
YOUR BRIGHT FLAG -
UNFURLED.......
SORROW.... PAIN.... GRIEF.... DESIRE....
BE QUENCHED;
BEFORE NIGHT, A FURIOUS GLORY,
AND, A TORCH OF LIGHT.
