GRIEVING

GRIEVING

A Poem by Salvatore Buttaci
"

If love is what makes the heart afraid, then grief is the object of that fear.

"

ice shards in the heart

a hollowness of bone

an absence of light

unending night

stone-sharp tears

trapped in the throat

cutting to shreds

the flesh of lean words
