solitude
war,gray,black,gray
a house collapses
to cry a bit.
borrow from neighbours
bank some money,
build it again
get rid of our fear
it won't collapse again
in the war,
the repeating is rare .......
a friends death
mean to look,
to the sky,
yell and scream,
to cry my solitude,
to wear black,
to walk with him to a
final destination
I am sure, he is not going to die again
one death,
we all have one death
losing parents,
become an orphan,
permission to be angry.
retreat awhile for 3 days,
place the gardenia
on freshly dug earth,
return for the living,
impossible to be orphaned twice
pain is waiting,
unknown moments,
stop at the gap at the door.
fear overfills,
a tear drops silently,
solitude. a breath.
