A Loss Like This

Dan Williams

Bloodied by passage

through the imaginary rubicon

dividing emotion from logic,

leaving you stunned

at the intensity of grief experienced.

Trying to divine how much tolerance

of bending before breakage ensues

leaving pieces watered by tears,

fed with fertilizer of heartbreak,

grow into excuses for surrender.
