Grief's Pain
Pain

pain

pain
A deep and gutteral pain
A scream comes roaring up
Beginning as a silent whisper
Inching its way up
Gaining traction in its voice
Until the vice that has
A permanent clamp
On this person's heart
The pain of his death
Will not lessen
It will only change
Perhaps a dampness
Will grab hold of the vice
And soften the edges
That squeezes hold
All the time
*
All the time
*
All the time
*
A deep and gutteral pain
