Poem for Today

Selfish...

My friend grieves,
I do too.

Angry at her reasons for loss,
Frustrated and confused,
Like mashed up newspapers,
Wet with sour rain,
Impossible to untangle.

I hate the thing that makes her sad,
Her impending loss...
It draws her from me,
Making me crushed and hollow,
Feeling like a thrown away thermos.


And then: the worst feeling...is that I hate to feel that way,
I should be a better comfort...

I grieve with her,
for the same, and other reasons.

April 2010
