Grief bores holes

2022 February 17th2019 May 4th

Grief bores holes
in our hearts & heads
like a woodpecker
— peck peck peck
— knock knock knock
You can’t make it stop
Eventually it flies away
— but leaves pits
that never fully heal

—Terri Guillemets

Spring’s sure well-done over, at 100°
O! Nature
