Keep it Brief

Grief is deep. She is.
I found her yesterday.
Uninvited, unattended,
She brings pain.

Keep grief brief, really.
Her voice is truly powerful.
Her shape is sharp.
She offers tears, to my soul.

Grief is deep. With her twin,
I almost collapsed in her hands.
I was stunned, in silence.
She invites deep pain, beautifully.

Keep grief brief. Yes.
She brought the water to my eyes, both eyes.
She had a painful dialogue with me, briefly
I rebreathed as she left.

Keep grief brief.
