My grief is a hollow
Sometimes inside.
Sometimes out.
A feeling that rises.
A spot on the chair, waiting for me to sit.
Other times, it darts, wild attack from around the corner.
Hell from on high. M e r c i l e s s.
Me sobbing — hideous, maudlin.
It has tender moments, too.
The gentle prodding of memories during sleep.
Soft purrs. Voices. Scents. A taste on the tongue.
It’s true what Daddy says.
The dead N E V E R leave us.
Colleen Sohn
Not being tense but ready.
Not thinking but not dreaming.
Not being set but flexible.
Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement.
It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.
Bruce Lee

There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.
