Word Acts: Living Now Affirming

Poet Lawrence Willson reflects upon an escape from grief. on the nature of grief.

Bird singing, breeze blowing
sun shining, shadow lingering
my friend I be burying

All over I hurt and so
utterly, I suffer not
my muttering me, be rot

The wormhole from painful to
joyful can be crossed over
only by the self-less self
