leaving the wake

Don’t ever say I didn’t grieve you

For fifteen months I was wearing black

Digging perpetual graves

Writing endless eulogies

Watching petals wither

❀

But you are not the only one I lost

And it was time I got back to myself

So I have finally left the wake

❀

I no longer weep with the sky

Now I dance with the sunlight

❀

The soil is soft again

It is time to plant fresh starts
