Griefs That Stay
To a Guest Reading by Paul Meier
Some griefs
(and you know
yours by name)
twist so terribly
deep that instead
of crying
you carry them like
inoperable bullets
inside your flesh
and feel their
twinges every few
seconds without
letting on
to even
your dearest--
damnable, beautiful
griefs that fit you
like a bone.
