providence
grief is when there is nothing to be donebut sit with shit on your shoes
and endure it
there is nothing to negotiate
no fixing
no stopping
and no hoping
hoping pretends
to postpone a future which
on wednesday
will be what already is
- - -
a prayer contemplates the failure
of his biological frailty
acceptance honours what God has given
and dissects
dispassionate
eviscerating every passion
in a thorough exploring
this slow measuring of sorrow
hallows the soiling of the soul
and wonders at the sublime scent of decay
as new life begins
