Grief

There's no way to write about grief properly. I've noticed that much, at least, which isn't saying much.

What I do when it's meant for that kind of work, it moves slowly. The sound holds a shape and doesn't hurry past it. There's room in there for the part of you that keeps saying the thing out loud even though it won't change anything, and I think that room is worth more than any resolution could be.

Some days I make something for sleep. Some days it's for sitting on the floor with your hands on the ground. This one is for the middle of the night. For the walk you can't finish. For the name you keep almost not saying.

It's here when you want it.
