good mourning

August 20, 2021 in Poetry, Art, Reflection


new beginning’s greeting

birthed from decay

-identities last breath-

friendships death stench 

prompts silent removal

of corpses white, 

buried bones.


to say goodbye

a broken rib

each inhalation

painful reminder

blissful lies burned

in present fires,

yesterday’s love 

feeding hate today


the only relief

mourning brings

is weight lifted

from my soul
