Grieving



fold clothes
            crochet a stitch
dry dishes
            crochet a stitch
vacuuming with white noise
            crochet a stitch

thoughts lost in some vast
            space of grief
subconsciously sorting out
            rearranging the order of the universe
and one’s place in this time

absent-mindedly doing all the
            normal things
on auto-pilot
            holding the tears, desolation
until it bursts in disarray
leaving us at a loss
            to put you back together

not pretending,
            coping
finding a safe spot
            where peace can heal
this too, part of the plan
learning how to be together
            how to be separate
waiting for the next door to open
            in reunion
