Good Grief

Grief it churns out carbon dioxide

Thoughts lead by military force

 

Grief it strikes you across your cheek

If you dare ignore the ones hurt by your defeat

 

 

Grief it conjures a body to sway against life’s tide

Grief is tics revealed by neurosis

 

Call it the quacks to lead us to another direct line

You will be just fine

 

Shift a bit in the corner

Let it leave our hearts

For a retrieval

A chance to shine

Turn to this moment.

March forwards to a beat instilling a sense of playful footwork to the dance of living by being.
