I Disagree

The work of grief is never done.

It sets up shop inside of us,

sends roots into our hearts

and the marrow of our bones,

becomes part of the fabric of

our days and especially our nights.

But that does not mean it will defeat us.

Grief is part of me now,

as familiar to me

as my two hands.

Essential, not pretty,

but strong.
